With the newly released customizable My Tasks page, it does not seem to auto-promote task that have recently been “unblocked”.
For example, previously - If I have moved a task to a section called “Later” because it had no date and was blocked by another task (assigned to a colleague), when the blocking task was completed, it would auto-promote to “Recently Assigned”.
With the new sections in My Tasks, custom rules are required for auto-promotion and creating this rule is not possible (unless you pay more?). I would really like this ability returned, as it is quite logical for the core of Asana: Triaging work to select your daily tasks…
That’s funny I never realized that was the case before You can recreate this with the existing rules, I believe they would be available in My Tasks v2 (but I don’t have it so I can’t check). That trigger is on the Business plan only though…
As a premium user, does that mean I am out of luck? Even when My Tasks V2 is released? I currently only have three rules available.
If that is the case - that would be very unfortunate as it totally renders blocking tasks much less useful (borderline useless or even counter productive?). Not very nice to provide a feature only to take it away later…
Similar boat as the rest. I’m also not on My Tasks V2 yet and had no idea dependencies fed into auto promotion. Is there documentation on this? Seems like quite the Easter egg - very powerful consideration for the auto promotion workflow. You have my vote that this feature be restored for all license levels.
A notification is still received - which is a half solution, I would say.
Now I am second guessing myself whether it ever auto-promoted in the first place. I was quite sure it did…
Regardless - I think a suitable feature for all licenses levels would be to allow for creation of a Rule that “When Task is Unblocked → move to section”. This would enhance the Dependencies feature (if it didnt already exists in My Tasks V1) and restore the use case in V2.
