Nice set of updates!

And thanks, Asana, for implementing one of my requests:

@Vanessa_N

(Personal) “Search this view” section expansion: When “Search this view” is used in List view, collapsed sections will automatically expand, revealing matching results that previously would have been hidden in collapsed sections.

I’ve updated my English Forum > Product Feedback request:

Search this view should hide empty sections and search in collapsed sections

Update in April 2026: #2 of the two parts that make up this request has been implemented by Asana: Typing “test1” in Search view results in this display: [image] which is confusing because it actually found, but does not show, a test1 task.

Hi @Vanessa_N , thanks for the updates!

A couple comments/questions:

@Vanessa_N

(Starter) Pause rules in a bundle: Pause individual rules within a bundle within a bundle without deleting them, making it easier to manage complex automation setups.

Bundles are available on Enterprise and Enterprise+, not Starter.

@Vanessa_N

(Enterprise) Edit restriction on assignee and due date fields: Restrict who can modify the assignee and due date on tasks through project-level permissions.

This was launched last summer as @ka_nishiyama noted here.
Has something changed or added?

[Vanessa_N]

Hi @Richard_Sather, sorry for the delay, and for the recurring issues here. I’ve submitted a request to our Content team to have the April Release Notes article fixed, and I’ve added these examples to our ongoing internal conversation regarding process improvements. Thank you for catching those, and I really appreciate your patience!

In the meantime, I’m correcting the issues here in the Forum post.

What’s up with this pop up advertisement for Timesheets feature every time we add Actual Time to a task? Is there any way to disable this? Can we let our customer success team know we’re not interested and have the sidebar button removed or the pop up feature disabled?
