Hello. It would be great to have another operator in the filter for a dashboard chart on a custom field for “none set”.
Use case: I want that all tasks gets a value from a customer field assigned. To monitor how many tasks do not yet have an assigned value, I wanted to create a chart in the dashboard counting the tasks which have not set any value of a custom field.
Using “Filter” on the chart allows the operators: “is exactly these”, “is all of these”, “is exactly these”. But then i can only select a provided value. I would like to filter on “is nothing of these” to know how many tasks still have to be assigned to smth.
All the best!

Thanks for sharing your feedback with us, @Timo_Plichta! I will let you know if we have any updates about this feature. Hopefully we can implement it in the future!
Briefly describe (1-2 sentences) the Bug you’re experiencing:
I’d like to create a reporting dashboard that allows me to see the health of a current sprint. Specifically I’d like to be able to filter for tasks that don’t have important fields set. When I attempt to create a filter like this the UI returns the correct value, but will not allow me to create the chart.
Ideal Fix: Have “a no value set” option for property filters.
Steps to reproduce:
- Create a number chart based off a protfolio
- Set value to task count
- Add filter by custom field
- Uncheck all values

Asana Mac App Version 1.7.1 (1.7.1)

It’s unsurprising, Asana has lots of seemingly lacking functionality like this. To them, it seems that every field, every filter, every view is a new entity and every basic function has to get added item by item (instead of what most of us would consider natural, i.e. global changes to all occurrences).

Hi @Donovan_King, welcome to the Asana Community Forum 
This isn’t a bug but a feature request so I’ve gone ahead and moved your post to the #product-feedback category to give other users the opportunity to vote for this feature.
I’ll let you know if we have any updates 
Reviving this old thread. I’d love tho have this ability.

Agree with this take. It makes no sense that the advanced search allows for searching custom fields ‘With no Value’ but that project views can’t be filtered using the same criteria. Clearly the logic exists on the back end. Pretty disheartening that this post is now more than 2 years old too. Doesn’t seem like we’re ever going to see some of this minor issues addressed.

Bumping this thread - we’re trying to build a dashboard to track which task creators are regularly not filling out the important fields so we can help support them. I was surprised that this doesn’t exist and would love it to be considered by the Product team! It would be a huge help.
