We have a unique integration setup with Jira where each project is actually a team; this means that each team project is an Epic. I have all my projects setup to integrate to Jira. I want the Asana project name to populate a custom field in Jira. To do this I have a custom field “Asana Project Name” that I want to populate automatically with the actuall project name once an assginees has been added to the task. I haven’t been able to figure out how to do this. Is it even possible?

Currently Asana doesn’t support using variables in its rule action that updates text custom fields, so I don’t think it’s possible in native Asana.
FYI our Flowsana integration does support variables in this context so you could solve for it with a Flowsana rule action i.e.:
(In this illustration the custom field is named “Request Name” but you would of course select your “Asana Project Name” custom field.)
Also, may I move this thread out of this private category so 600k+ other forum readers can benefit from it?

Of course, no problem sharing it at all
I am trying to do exactly this same thing. I want my project name in a custom field to make it visible on the Board cards.
Asana AI seems to think it’s possible.
Your request came up at the top of my search results.

Were you able to get this to work?
The Board cards have a colored line showing. Hovering on this line will display the project name. In the end, I did not create a custom rule or field.
