Yes! This would be fantastic! We’ve only just recently started using Conversations, and already see a need to be able to convert them into tasks - even just to have a task to update our procedures based on a conversation would be super handy, instead of copy/paste
+1 on this request, we had some team members creating conversations instead of tasks, it would be ideal to switch the conversation into a task, for us to use the task features such as the list, the status, the tags and drag and drop.
I noticed you can only add images within the text entry using the image upload, while on a task you can drag and drop into it.
Please let us know if this feature can become available.
Just trying to come into Asana after using a myriad of other tools, including Asana itself about 2 years ago. Reasons for return: Some great UX stuff like Convos, which have the nice benefit of allowing a title in addition to the comment. Great way to replace noise of Slack, and provides a great feature of an alternative tool my team has been using called Twist.com, but unfortunately Twist is very thin in features, including integrations, so we’re kind of on an island using it. This ability to title a conversation is really huge!
And it would be fantastic to convert not only to a task, but a project. Another differentiator for me with Asana is the “Task to Project” feature - the fact that you can 1) do it in the first place, few other tools offer this (Just look at Wrike’s failure here with the popularity of the request, and lack of action on their Product Team’s part: https://help.wrike.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/115000310005--Status-Backburner-Convert-a-Task-into-a-Project), and 2) the great traceability afforded when the project picks up a nice reciprocal link to the task that was converted. Huge for Idea promotion.
Conversations are a great source of ideas, too, so simply applying what you guys already have done with tasks to projects here, both with converting to a task, or a project - I think you could use the same solution but offer both - would be huge for my use of Asana, and I’m sure many, many others!
Thanks guys for listening and truly hope to see this implemented soon!
Would be super cool! Maybe something like the @ feature, to demarcate tasks to be extracted from the conversation
So just as a clarifying example - surrounding a phrase with some marking (# or whatever) automatically creates a task, with some other syntax to set additional parameters, like #@Chris: please get an answer on that by 4/24# creates the task, assigns it to Chris, sets a due date of 4/24
