Automatic Field Update for Milestones in Asana

English Forum Tips and Tricks
1

Hello, everyone!

I have a custom field called “Target Score” (e.g., 50%) and another called “Current Score” (e.g., 36%) on a main task that represents a milestone.

The subtasks of this milestone represent smaller deliverables and include in their name the percentage each one accounts for. For example:

"Define +10%"

"Apply +5%"

"Activate +5%"

I would like that, when a subtask is completed, the “Current Score” field of the main milestone task is automatically updated by adding the value indicated in the subtask’s name.

Is there a way to do this in Asana using custom fields or some native automation? Or would it be necessary to use an external tool via the Asana API?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi @Robian_Silveira_da_S , this is possible natively with a few fields and rules.
Refer to this article for inspiration on how to adapt it to achieve what you need.
