Hi, I want to populate a select input from a project or lookup table in Asana. Basically i have a zap that goes to airtable and grabs some unique code. This zap will update a lookup table in asana, and the form select will read from this table so that our team can select the correct code. Is this even possible or am i dreaming? I dont know asana well, is it possible to do this via API? I might be able to achieve this with a more technical solution. Thanks ---

Hi, What you can do: - your zap updates a custom field drop down option - a form in Asana has a question linked to a field This way your options are changed by Zapier and they show up in Asana. Is this what you are looking for? ---

Not that I know of, you can hire someone to help (I could for example) or try to get it to work yourself or with your team’s help… ---

@Bastien_Siebman makes sense, im just going to use the API its much easier vs figuring out a zap which i dont think is available ---

You can also use the API through a custom web hook call within a zap 🙂 ---
