Dashboard for existing Project Templates (v2)

Thank you for the clarification. Do you know if it may be added back in in the future? I would be a wonderful if as a team we can streamline information across projects. That way anyone can easily pick up another person’s work by quickly glancing at the dashboard. Thank you.

To me, that’s the biggest hole that was left when we migrated from V1 to V2, so I hope it would be fixed!

Hi @Claudia_Ramos , when you duplicate a project you get several options to include. If you check the box for task due dates (screenshot below), these will copy over so no need add the dates again.

But of course these are not dynamic dates like in a project template, so they would likely get stuck in the past, sooner or later. So you would then need to go to the timeline view and:

  1. set dependency management options to ‘Maintain buffer’
  2. select all the tasks together (by zooming out)
  3. shift them all at once to your project start/end date

…which again, all this is not ideal but it is a workaround for the time being.
It’s usually a balance between deciding what is more important… dashboards or due dates? :person_shrugging:

Thank you so much. Yes I saw that, but we just have too many tasks to update manually.
Thank you again for your help.

Briefly describe (1-2 sentences) the Bug you’re experiencing: I have a project with a dashboard that I have customized. I have created a template off of that dashboard. When I create a project using the template, the dashboard is not customized in the same way as the seed template.

Steps to reproduce: Given that I have a project with custom sections, fields and dashboards
When I create a template off of that project
And then create a project using that template
Then the new project should have those same sections, fields and dashboards

What version of Asana are you using (Basic/Premium/Business/Enterprise)?

I found a lot of conflicting evidence whether this is supported. From my understanding, I saw that it was not supported in V1, then it was supported at V2 for a few months after launch, then rolled back, then released again later.

Welcome, @Ben_Bell,

I’ve merged your post into an existing thread where you can click the title to scroll to the top and vote by clicking the purple Vote button.

There’s also a workaround or two posted in that thread that could be of value until/if this feature becomes available.

Thanks,

Larry
