I use Asana on iOS with projects in “Board” view. Recently, I have seen that I can no longer create a new task using the “+” button above each section (column) in the board view. See the highlighted button in the attached image.
This applies to both iOS on iPad and iPhone. I have tried uninstalling the Asana app and reinstalling, but the problem remains.
I can still create tasks using the “+ New task” button at the bottom right, but this requires me to manually select the section in which to add to the task from a drop-down menu, which is far less efficient than simply pressing “+” on the section I want.
Is this a bug, or has the separate “new task for a section” feature been removed? If so, the “+” button should be removed!
to add some detail - the large “+” button in each column of the board is no longer active. It does nothing at all. It’s not any particular project - they all have the same problem, even completely new projects.
In “List” view, I can add tasks via the “…” menu and selecting one of the two “add task” options.
The web-browser version and desktop application versions (macOS) both work as expected in “Board” view.
This was working on iOS a few weeks ago…at least I’m pretty sure it was, so something seems to have changed recently!
Hi Emily, Thanks for your reply. I am also using version 10.1.0, so it’s not clear why you are seeing a different result.
I did see that your user interface (on an iPhone, I presume?) is different to mine, so perhaps there is some UI option that is different? The large “+” button (the same width as the column) is at the bottom on your screenshots, and mine is on the top. Also, I do not have the “+ …” on the top right of each column as you do.
I am using the free version of Asana - could this be a difference between your UI and mine?
It seems like a bug. Try reaching out to Asana support for confirmation and a potential fix. Meanwhile, using the “+ New task” button is a workaround, though less efficient.
Hi everyone, and thanks for following up on this! Our product team is aware of this issue and we are working on a solution. I’ll let you know as soon as we have more information!
Thank you! I can confirm that the issue appears to be fixed, and the appearance of the board view now matches the screen shot that you posted in your reply a couple of weeks ago.
