Does anyone know of a way to add tasks to multiple projects at once via the CSV importer?
I was hoping any extra projects on top of the main one that the CSV is importing into could be added as extra columns. I tried to set a column as projects but it added it as a custom field.
@Kayleigh I donāt think this is possible today so I changed your topic to #productfeedback so others could vote on the recommendation. I could see a lot of great use for this!
Looks like while exporting a CSV the column āProjectsā ( showing other projects the task is part of ) is filled with the text and works well.
Though we would like to be able import this CSV back with some changes or additional āProjectsā to add tasks to this and other projects. Is there any solution by now?
Can we add a label that allows us to upload a bunch of tasks and add the tasks to specific projects and sections?
Iād like to upload a bunch of tasks to specific projects and sections without having to upload individual CSV files for each project.
At the moment, there is no label that matches tasks with projects when uploading tasks as a CSV. However, if you download tasks as a CSV file from Asana, there is a column in the CSV file labeled āProjectsā. In this column, the Projects & Sections are labeled in the rowsā¦so itās already tracked in the Asana backend
Youāre correct, as it stands, itās not possible to multihome tasks while importing them with our CV importer. I donāt believe this is something weāre currently working on, but definitely a good feedback for future updates! Iāve slightly edited the title of your post to make it more discoverable to user (hope thatās ok!) and Iāll keep you posted as soon as I have an update on my end!
Any update on this? Itād be so helpful to be able to import with two project tagged for our production scheduling (weād love to have a project for each product and then a master schedule for timeline but currently this isnt possible)
When a new teammate joins a team, it would be great to be able to upload a CSV which has tasks assigned to different projects. Currently, this is not a feature (as far as I know), and it would be excellent to be able to add a column in the CSV that connects different tasks to one or more different projects.
Thanks for your feedback, @anon2466781! We already have a thread in our #productfeedback category on this topic so Iāve gone ahead and merged your post with the main thread to centralize feedback. Donāt forget to add your vote!
Asana is amazing for working in high volume account management. Every morning when you wake up there will be 3-10 emails that have come in overnight that need to be prioritized, noted, and followed up on at later times - this is what Asana is built for!
A feature that would be great is the ability to upload a list of accounts from a CSV to Asana with each row in the file signifying a separate project. Currently you can bulk upload tasks under one project, but for new account managers, or customer success managers, this feature would be a natural step in onboarding new reps to a company / to the Asana platform.
This would be extremely valuable especially at kick off to the calendar year. I highly recommend creating a project field and import solution from the home page of asana. Thank you!!!
Iām voting for this, it would be exceptionally helpful. Our Projects have about 2 dozen tasks that I could VERY easily import as a CSV file, produced by other software we use here that gathers our material and labor calculations.
We have a LOT of tasks that must show up, multi-homed, in 3-4 different projects, because we use them as calendars.
This would be a workable alternative to the fact that you canāt import Tags via CSV. Disappointed, but not surprised, to find that this isnāt possible either. Has anyone found a workaround?
Hello, is there a way to have an importās subtasks be multi-homed into the project? I know you can add them in by tab + P but I am looking for a way to connect the subtask to the task level for dashboard reporting purposes.
