It used to be that charts (from Highlights) that were added to a status report did not appear when printed but I just tested one and it did print now! I’m not sure I ever saw this announced, but maybe I missed something or my recollection is off, but this is great to see and eliminates a frustration for many!!

@lpb, you haven’t missed anything, we skipped announcing this update in the Forum to prioritise other more important updates :slight_smile:

A post was split to a new topic: Advanced Search - Save button missing

Is there a multi-filter for the “timeline” view?

A post was split to a new topic: How to create free text custom field

A post was merged into an existing topic: Let Us Sort Projects Manually in Sidebar

“Moving over” conversations and attachments when converting Task to Project would be 100x more valuable :wink:

When will the sidebar be fixed? Its useless with only being able to see ‘recent’ or ‘top’ projects. We need an option to see all projects.

Agree - It’s been so disruptive that I check this forum constantly looking for any indication from Asana that they hear the feedback. There are at least 3 separate threads going with feedback about how it’s negatively affected workflows.

is great but is it possible to add colors to our comments ? and to the description of the task ?
thanks

Hi, Marie, quick question. A bit ago, the filters dropdown in my lists added a “Apply” button - so I could select exactly what I wanted to filter in multiple filters, and then click Apply to see it (instead of applying automatically right after you clicked each filter). This was great - I use filters a lot, and so having that second pause after switching every one was a bit annoying.

About a week ago, the interface went back to the old way all of a sudden - my Apply button went away for about three days. Then it came back again. Now, today, it’s gone again. haha.

I really hope that it’s a feature that will stay. Can you confirm if that’s true? And also, why it keeps switching back and forth for me? It’s like a feature was rolled out, taken away, rolled out, and taken away again…

Hi @Aaron_Stanton We are currently having an A/B test for real-time/filter and sorts. As you said, we rolled back the experiment for a few days about a week ago. As this is an A/B test, we cannot tell you now if we roll it out or not.

But I will pass your feedback to our team and I will comment here once we decide to roll out or not after the test :slight_smile:

Love the ability to save a portfolio progress update as a PDF! However, the output shows every occurrence of the lowercase “l” and every uppercase “I” as bolded while all the rest of the letters are normal. Anybody else encountering this?

This topic was automatically closed after 14 days. New replies are no longer allowed.

Hi @Aaron_Stanton I wanted to let you know that A/B test has finished and the product team decided to roll out the feature to filter/sort in real-time, meaning you won’t see ‘Apply’ button in the filter panel.
