Display bubble/badge on a task when you have been mentioned in comments

Three things I’m really hoping to see from Asana sooner than later:

• Allow color choice for a custom text field - I want to be able to call attention to certain fields with internal color coding

Reverse the order of comments

Allow color choice for a custom text field

is here:

Ability to chose "color scheme" or no color for new custom field

I had created a number of new custom fields today and had to manually turn off the color for many of them (since the coloring wasn’t relevant to a department, date, etc). when I had the idea that it would be great to be able to choose from a set of color schemes or themes when initiating a new custom field. For example, you could choose “No color” and then the new fields wouldn’t auto-populate with a color and you could skip the manual work of having to change the color to white. Or you could ha…

That leaves your other request, which I couldn’t find a similar thread for, so this is a perfect place for it:

• A little bubble/badge on a task (in Board, List, and Timeline view) that pops up when you have been mentioned in comments on that task.

Thank you Phil.

I know that Trello offers the ability to badge-notify when you’re mentioned on a task. Is this in the works on Asana??

Asana doesn’t publish a public roadmap so we won’t know if it is.
