Add Human Readable Text To Task Slug/Url

English Forum Product Feedback
1

If you copy an Asana link, you get something like this:

https://app.asana.com/0/1169222810283257/1170819491901975/g

This link gives the viewer no content about the task. If you paste in this in a GitHub description, slack channel, or email, the viewer has to click the link to learn about the task.

Trello, for example, appends a slugified version of the title behind the id’s in the URL.

I find this very helpful.

Hi @anon26681031 and thanks for sharing your feedback with us!

We’ve recently introduced hyperlinks in Asana and we’re already looking into how to improve them. Since your feedback is in-line with this, i’ve made a task to our Product Team for them to consider for a future update. While I can’t promise anything right now, I’ll make sure to keep you posted if I hear anything on my end!

Marie, what’s the update on this feature request?

I think there are 2 blockbuster features that Asana is not great, otherwise Asana is awesome.

  1. Have a human readable task slug (identifier)

  2. GitLab (not GitHub) full integration

Hi, is there any update on this please? It would be great to be able to copy the task name rather than the full URL only outside of Asana. Thanks!
