A few weeks ago, I noticed that a CSV project export was missing some tasks. After quite a lot of research and a few emails with Asana support, I was informed: One thing to note is that CSV exports are truncated at 3000 lines as the export limit. This is why you are seeing tasks missing. This is…

I have the same problem! 2000 rows is the max limit… How i can do a complete BACKUP of my data?

Same problem. Truncated at 2,000 rows of data. Forces me to do break into pieces and this is time consuming.

Hi, This is a huge issue since most of our internal analysis of the project requires us to have complete details and truncating at 2000 really bummed me out. Requesting to have option to download all rows of data without any additional hassle. Thank you!

Here is a new problem with the workaround for CSV projects: If, when you divide your search, you happen to have projects that do not all have identical fields, you can end up with different columns in your resulting CSVs. Then it might theoretically take you some time to discover the error when you …
