Asana’s biggest feature is the ability to assign tasks to multiple projects.
As a request, it is now possible to set the main project when linking multiple projects added to a task.
However, the main setting is not mandatory.
It would also be helpful to have a warning when changing (or deleting) the primary settings.
As an alternative, タスクを特定のプロジェクトに固定出来ますか?
So you would want to be notified if the task is removed from this project then?

@ka_nishiyama How do I set the main project when linking multiple projects to a task? I have a task in multiple projects but I need to set 1 project as the primary in order to make sure the tasks uses the color-coding from the primary board. When I’m viewing in Timeline view, it changes the color to the other board’s color, rather than the category color.

Hi, @Charla_Rowe
Thank you for endorsing aspects that may have been unclear in my explanation.
Unfortunately, at present, it is not possible to configure the main project, so I am proposing it this time.

Once again, I think the multi-homing feature requires a main project setting.
Can you elaborate on the reason(s) why you’re making this request? I see a few in this thread and some others but I think it would be good if you can detail them all here in one place.

Regarding “fixing to a specific project.”
I’ll explain my thoughts on this approach.
The flow is as follows:
- Manage a project from start to finish in a specific project (main).
- Register individual tasks within the project. Manage them thoroughly.
- Multi-home related projects so they can be referenced. However, they remain secondary projects.
Current issues:
- It’s not clear which project is the main one from a task.
- Tasks can be removed from the main project (even if unintentionally).
As a countermeasure,
- Make it possible to specify the main project.
- Make it impossible to remove a task from the main project.
- It may also be necessary to prevent it from being added to other projects (multi-homed), but that is something we will consider separately.
- Alternatively, display a warning message when attempting to do the above.
This is basically already available; you can’t stop multi-homing from a given project completely but you can restrict it to project admins only:

Thank’s @Phil_Seeman
@Emily_Roman mentioned this before.
I’d like to set it more explicitly.
For example, when viewing tasks by project, you could pin the main project to the top or indicate the main project with a mark.
