Is there a way to have a form generate multiple tasks that are each linked to distinct fields?
I would like to use this Asana board to quickly assign a set of tasks to different departments and was hoping to be able to do that when the form is submitted.
At this moment in time, I have only figured out how to make a form generate multiple tasks or make a form generate 1 task which has a field identified.
Welcome to the forum @Mitra_Merzenich-Nass!
I’m not sure if I understand correctly, but I’m assuming this will answer your question:
A form is linked to the project you add it to, so the custom fields the task generated from “has” are the custom fields that are in the project.
You can set the values for those fields by linking the specific form questions with custom fields.
You can then have various rules run upon a form being submitted (task is added to project from form_name) and set the conditions for which task(s) should be generated with “check-if” acting on which values for the custom fields were added by answering the form questions.
You can either have the values for the custom field of these tasks be set by the rule in the same project, or you can add specific tasks to other departmental projects, where you could get other field values.
If you want the original fields and values to carry over you need to add those fields to the library so that they exist in both projects.
Does that help?
Hi! Thank you, I know my description was a little vague.
Essentially, I’d like to have a form that creates multiple tasks that are each assigned to their own custom field. For example, if my custom fields are red, orange, and blue, I’d like a form where I can create multiple tasks, some of which may be red and some may be orange or blue. Is that a possibility?
I’m assuming the idea is this, you have a multi-select field colour. In the form you can select the colours you want, and then you want tasks for each colour.
In that case you need a rule for each colour, to act on whether the task created from the form contains that colour.
You’ll still have the initial task, so maybe it makes sense to create those tasks as subtasks, so that they are connected to the inital submission.
