I am editing a Project Template and it appears that we can no longer edit the assignee and dates of the task inside the detail panel of the task. I have owner rights on the template.
I can still edit the task in the in-line list view on the Project Template but when I click on the task to open the side-panel detail view, it does not allow edits. It says “You do not have permission to edit the assignee”.
This is manageable for Tasks because we can edit the in-line view, but for Sub-Tasks the detailed view is the only way to access and view/edit. We have Sub-Tasks that need different assignees than the parent Task.
We launched a project from the Template and it appears that if a sub-task does not have an assignee, then the Template is flowing down the Task assignee as the Sub-Task assignee.
Is this a bug or new standard feature of Project Templates?
We have a template project in Asana that includes many tasks that have sub-tasks under.
For the sub-tasks, it’s very easy. We can just click on the assignee column in the list view, and assign either a user or role to it.
However, in the template, we don’t see a way of expanding that task in the list view to see the sub-tasks like we can do in live projects. Is there anyway to do that?
Second, is there anyway to go into sub-task and assign from there? When we try this, we are getting the message “You Don’t Have the Permissions to Change the Assignee”, even though I am the owner of the project and have full admin access.
See screenshot of the permission error when editing the Project Template - this just occurred for the first time today after previously being able to edit.
@Jacob_Kelley and others, it would help to also create a support ticket: see How to contact our Support Team, and be sure to mention multiple people/teams are experiencing this and it should be escalated/expedited.
