Assign CSV import list to established Task Template for new tasks

[Roxanne_Dockter]

When importing data from a CSV it would be beneficial to have an option to assign each line item (row) to a specific task template already established in Asana project rather than making blank new tasks.

This would allow the newly added tasks from the csv to use the task templates and carry over the sub tasks and description information for each new task in bulk.

We can currently assign specific columns to metadata fields, but not rows into task template types.

Ive looked at this post, but it doesn’t sound quite the same as what I am thinking.

CV import tasks into pre-defined task templates

I’m hoping there’s a way to direct CSV imported tasks into pre-made task templates. In my case, I use templates to assign an item type, populate several subtasks (which vary with each template), and sort tasks into appropriate columns with rules. Ideally, I’d like to import several hundred tasks from a CSV, assign a template based on a column in the CSV, and let my rules take care of the rest. I wouldn’t even mind if I had to import a different CSV for each template. Is there any way to do this? …
