"Add Work" in Portfolio - NOT showing all available projects

I am trying to add multiple projects to one portfolio. There are only 4 users in our entire team. I am the one who creates all projects and manages the portfolios. I am using the desktop version. As far as I can tell, I have the same permissions set for all projects, as I use the same template when creating a new project.

When in the Portfolio, I click “ADD WORK” and type in the first 4 letters of the project title. I have many projects with the same first four letters in the project name: MSQC. This is followed by a 5 digit number. So the project name could be MSQC 12345.

I can easily find about 7 of the projects by simply typing MSQC in the search under ADD WORK. But then it stops returning results. There are 31 projects overall. I can find them if I search the 5 digits. This requires that I reference a separate list of project numbers, which is quite tedious.

I get the same result when using the web version.

I do NOT want to use a third party add on. I don’t want to use AI. I don’t want to learn to write code. I just want to know how to fix the issue within Asana.

@Louise_Duffy, I recommend: Try these troubleshooting steps, then please create a support ticket: see How to contact our Support Team.

Perhaps the autocomplete has a limit (which it shouldn’t, in my opinion). If Support tells you it’s operating as expected, please add a new topic in English Forum > Product Feedback to address your request.

Thanks,

Larry

Thank you, @lpb . Since I am having the same trouble on the desktop version, I don’t think the troubleshooting steps are helpful. They all refer troubleshooting the browser. Any other ideas before I submit to Product Feedback?

I think you should proceed to Support; I can’t think of anything else; sorry.

You’re right, almost all are browser-specific. I suggest those just to avoid extra delays sometimes with Support where they push back asking first for you to try all those before continuing.

Thanks,

Larry

Thanks, Larry.
