Please may you add the “creation date” of the tasks in the selectable fields? Thanks ---

Agreed - this is sometimes an important piece of data. ---

This is extremely important. We have 30+ people adding tickets to a project and it can get very complicated. Being able to sort by entered date allows you to see what has been entered for the week. ---

Yes, please! And make that a sorting option as well. (I accidentally clicked on remove! Didn’t mean to delete my original post!) ---

When we export the project to CSV or another format, we can see the information of “Created at” and “Last modified” in the file. I’d like to have the possibility to display this information also in the task list screen. ---

I don’t think, ASANA will ever implement these things like, creation date, modified date, due date etc (DATE FIELDS), and AGE filed, which are ESSENTIAL and BASIC, and which we are using since DOS OS days. ASANA is very busy in doing cosmetic and decorative additions, and adding stuff to BUSINESS and ENTERPRISE editions only. And they say that, we should switch from XL. How it is possible. XL is 1) Super-fast in loading 100’s and 1000’s of tasks just like that, where as in ASANA, if you have more folders, and more tasks per folder, it will take time 2) Multi-column sorting, ascending/descending order, creation of any no of custom fields, and sorting by any field, by ascending/descending order etc…In ASANA, none of these things are possible… Particularly disappointed, in lack of these features, is in-fact going against the ASANA’s theme - doing more at less time. Also, SEARCH, is less said is better. ASANA does n’t support 1) SPECIAL CHARACTERS 2) SPACE 3) CAPS 4) WILD CHARACTERS etc - In-fact, ASANA SEARCH engine, is very basic, in my view. I hope ASANA is LISTENING and IMPLEMENTS these things, on URGENT basis. ---

P;ease add creation date so we can see it as a field in the list. This seems like it would be one of the most used fields. ---

It would be extremely helpful if we could have a column in Projects and My Tasks that shows when a task is created. This is helpful when we determine if we need to push something or not. ---

Hi @TheDave, thanks for taking the time to provide this feedback! While this feature isn’t available at this time, hopefully it’s something our Product team can implement in the future 🙂 We do have an existing thread for this feature request in the #productfeedback category so I’ve gone ahead and merged your post with the existing one to consolidate feedback. I’ll keep you posted and let you know if I have any updates 🙂 ---

+1 on this. The data is already available/associated with each task. We see “ created this task. X days ago” in the comments of every task. Mousing over “X days ago” shows the specific timestamp. Exposing that timestamp in a default column (perhaps hidden by default) would allow for tracking and sorting based on that value.
