Assigning Self as Default Assignee for Tasks

[anon90066130]

How can I myself as the Default Assignee for tasks that I create? The MAJORITY of tasks that I create are for myself. Please vote for this if you also would like this feature.

You could create them within “My Tasks” and they will be assigned to you on creation.

You can also then select or bulk-select them, and add them to a project, while still retaining you as Assignee and keeping them in My Tasks.

(The one thing you wouldn’t want to do is here: Bug: Dragging a task from "My Tasks" to a project unassigns the task from me - #3 by Rebecca_McGrath)

Thank you for your suggestion. I wonder, however, how to do it FROM a project, since that is what I do most commonly.

@anon90066130, Please have a look at my two replies to others with this same question:

Default assignee

It’s been three years and 155 posts/replies (so far)! Until/if Asana offers this feature, I’d like to mention these two potential workarounds that may at least help some folks. I don’t believe either has been suggested above yet in all this time: Use Tab+M to quickly assign to yourself (/cc @Matt_Maldre) Use Rules (if on Business plan) with trigger New Task Added and action Assign To. Thanks, Larry

Can all tasks get assigned to me automatically?

@Samantha_Nicole, @Daffy_UK, @helloandyhihi, Until/if Asana provides this, another workaround (that doesn’t require a third-party tool) is to type Tab +M to “assign to me” anytime after you start creating the task. It’s awfully fast, though you have to remember to do it. And another workaround: Tab+Q does a quick add of a task and it actually does assign to you by default. But for a few reasons, I prefer the previous approach. Hope that helps, Larry

Hope one of those three approaches helps!

Larry
