Custom fields showing to client. How to hide them?

[lpb]

@Magasul,

The solution is to make the custom fields local to your private project:

More tools to organize owned tasks -private tags field?

@anon62246207, As a partial workaround, until/if all that functionality is added by Asana (probably not anytime soon)… If you’re on a paid Asana plan, you can use local (not org-wide) custom fields for private data on your tasks. Make a private project with all the private custom fields you want to use on any task, then multi-home any tasks that you’d like to specify private data on to this private project. You will be able to see the custom fields and values but no one else will. Larry

But beware:

Task Details > Remove the ability to delete the value of a custom field (in the library) that is in a private project

Scenario: I am a member of Project A and can see Task X inside it. Task X is also multi-homed into Project B which is private - I have no access to it. Project B has a custom field which is part of the org’s library. In task X’s Details pane, I can see that custom field’s value greyed out (because it is in the org’s library and in a project that I don’t have access to). Whether I should see this custom field’s value or not is another debate, but it is the expected behaviour so let’s leave it …

Thanks,

Larry
