Hi Asana team,
We have been using Asana for our platform feedback for which we use the form. Once the form is submitted, a task is created in Asana but there is no option that a creation date of the task is automatically pulled and added in a field of that task. Is there a way to do so? Can you please guide me here.
Hi,
In projects now you can display the creation date of a task. Just go through the customise menu. You canāt put that date in another field (I have an automation that does if you are interested).
Take care
Hi Bastien,
I did turned on Creation Date Field form Customize Menu, but it isnāt showing on any task. I donāt want to add it another field if they have already a designated field via customize menu. And yes i will surely be interested in the automation if i cannot see the creation date in a field by default.
You donāt see any task in the project? Did you check the first filter at the top? Does it say Ā« all tasks Ā»?
I can see my all task. What i am not seeing is creation date in my task where all other customized fields are shown. I have attached a screenshot of where i expect to see the creation date after turning on it from customize menu.
I get it now! Creation date only shows up in the list view as a column. In the task pane you need to scroll down to the comments, at the top youāll see an activity āX created on Yā
Yes, i observed that it shows in list view now. Is there any possibility we get it in board view too without wanting to scroll down to see the creation date?
If it is not already the case, it could be coming soon!
Hi Bastian,
Iām interested into how to automate the task creation date into a ādateā field!
Do you know you can already display a column with the date creation? It isnāt enough?
Everyone keeps saying you can add Creation Date to a list view, but that never appears for me as an option in the Customize menu. What am I missing?
Hi @Christina_Davis,
It was moved fairly recently; instead of in the Customize menu, itās now in the menu labeled either āShow fieldsā or āHideā (thereās an A/B test going on to decide which label to use, so it could be either at the moment):
Thank you very much!
There is still no way to see the creation date when in the board view or from the task as it appears in your inbox. It would extremely helpful if Asana added this field in these views. Please advise. Thank you
Welcome, @Sophia_Shibles,
In both those views if you look at the bottom of the Task Detail Pane you can see the audit trail stories; the first one will always give the creation date.
Thanks,
Larry
