@Richard_Sather And the rule…

Hi everyone, here is the formal write-up:

Surface the Latest comment/update of a task using AI Studio

The ability to surface the latest comment or updates on a task in the List view, has been a long-time request, that has had many of us looking to find a solution, until Asana natively adds this feature. [image] One such person was @CraigD who was looking to create something similar to Status preview text field in a portfolio. He was very close - I simply nudged him in the right direction to experiment with AI Studio - and alas, Craig worked it out! This is a formal right-up of this solution…

Thanks, @CraigD!

Whilst I love the ingenuity of the community here in using AI to get around this limitation, I would still love to have some small updates to the in-built rules engine to achieve this in a more deterministic, less computationally expensive way

I would love the ability to add a custom field or column in List view that pulls the latest comment from the task. Or the ability to automatically turn the input on a custom field into a task or comment.

@Pam_Guinta Actually there was an existing English Forum > Product Feedback topic for this request so I merged your request into it. Pam, you can add your vote for it at the top of this topic.

Also note two workarounds that are mentioned herein for accomplishing this request:

• AI Studio (via the post that @lpb referenced)
• our Flowsana integration

Also, as @lpb recommended, please make a separate post for your second request.
