can a prefix be added to all project names with one rule with AI Studio

Hello,

I do not have AI Studio and it does not appear that I can manually create a rule to add a prefix to all my project names. I am wondering–Can this be achieved with AI Studio (or organization may add AI studio in a few months, so maybe I should just wait - if projects can more easily be automatically renamed with AI Studio)?

Hey @Richard_Tasker

Absolutely, you can achieve renaming with AI Studio, that’s even one of the basic AI Studio workflow proposed from the “add rule” page.

@Arthur_BEGOU, but what would the “When” trigger be in AI Studio to catch all existing projects? I don’t think there is one.

You might be able to do this in Asana AI Chat (or another AI chat connecting to Asana, though.

Thanks,

Larry

I see. that AI rule is for putting a prefix on a task, not a project.

Hello @Richard_Tasker. Thank you very much for your feedback, as well as to our wonderful Forum leaders Arthur and lpb, who are helping you out with your question. :blush: Building on what they suggested, let me try to provide you with more insights:

The quick answer is that there isn’t a native way to auto-prefix or bulk rename project names with a rule right now. Even with AI Studio, rules target tasks inside a project, not the names of projects across your org. However, here are some workarounds that you can consider:

  1. Set the naming convention in your project templates so new projects are created with the prefix

  2. If you just need to “label” projects, a Portfolio with a custom field can work as a lightweight prefix alternative

  3. If you have someone comfortable with the API, a short script can batch add a prefix to existing project names

I’ve already shared your feedback with our team, and if you want to add your voice, you can post or upvote in Product Feedback here: https://forum.asana.com/c/forum-en/product-feedback/20

Happy to clarify any of the workarounds if you share a bit more about your setup. Thank you and enjoy your Asana experience! :asanacurated: :flexed_biceps:

Hi @Richard_Tasker,

If you’re interested in exploring it, you could definitely bulk-rename projects with a Flowsana FlowAgent.
