Creating an Asana item via Create Task(V2) in Power Automate automatically assigns it to myself.

I am building an Asana project that will be used as a reference container for the sites we support. I am using Power Automate to pull site data from Sharepoint and then creates a task with the site information so they can be selected in other tasks as a reference. The issue I am running into is that in the Create Task(V2) in Power Automate it automatically assigns the “task” to me. Ideally, I want this to be left blank as it doesn’t need to be assigned to anyone, it is just a reference.

In Power Automate, I am leaving the Assignee field blank, but it is defaulting to assigning it to me.

Is there something I could add in there that would keep the task from being assigned to anyone? I have tried to type in Unassigned but that makes the flow fail because it isn’t a recognized command.

Thanks in advance.

I don’t think you can just leave it blank or fake assign, but what you could do is create a quick rule in the intake project (Site Directory) that takes any new task and removes the assignee.

This is probably the best solution. I will give this a try and update accordingly.
