API News 2022-W33

Hey folks,

Sasha, from the Asana API Team here, back with your weekly update for 2022-W33.

There is one major update I have for you this week, related to New Project
Templates
(aka, PT2), as a question came up last week. The
original timeline for this was deprecation by end of August. However, we’re
going to adjust the timeline because our communications could have been clearer
and there appears to be confusion. The key change is that deprecation is being
delayed by one month to September. Additionally, the API will transition to
“opt-out” starting next week. Details below.

Please let us know if you think this deprecation timeline will impact you
(is_template being removed by end of August).

(headings are links to the original announcements)

New Project Templates

  • current status (Aug 16): opt-in
    (Project resources still include the is_template field, but
    your API client can include a Asana-Enable: new_project_templates header to
    receive the new resource treatment)
  • next change (Aug 24): opt-out
    (Project resources will no longer include the is_template field by
    default, but your API client can include a
    Asana-Disable: new_project_templates header to temporarily revert to the old
    treatment)
  • final change (Sep 24): deprecation complete
    (Project resources will no longer include the is_template field, and there
    will no longer be a way to revert to the old treatment)

who this applies to: users of /projects or the Projects resource
that also work with project_templates

New HTML Tags in Task Descriptions

status: launching soon

who this applies to: users of /tasks* or the Tasks resource that
read or write to task.html_notes.

Deprecation timeline details for New HTML Tags in Task Descriptions will
clarified soon.


Yours in Developer Relations,
Sasha, on behalf of the Asana API Team
