Entering new task name on Android no longer automatically capitalizes first letter

Hi folks,

In the past month or two, the Asana Android app has stopped automatically capitalizing the first letter of a new task. Is there a setting I could change to go back to the old behavior?

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open Asana app on Android
  2. Press red “+ New task” button
  3. Note the cursor is at “Task name…”
  4. Note that keyboard is ready to type with lowercase letters
  5. Type the word “test”
  6. Note that it renders as “test” (without initial capital)
  7. Press the “Description” field
  8. Note the cursor is at “Description”
  9. Note that keyboard is ready to type with uppercase letters
  10. Type the word “test”
  11. Note that it renders as “Test” (with initial capital)

Prior to 1-2 months ago, new tasks have always defaulted to having an automatic initial capitalization.

Here’s my environment:

  • Android 16
    • Gboard keyboard v16.0.7
  • Asana app v8.68.2

I believe this behavior began in Sep 2025 – prior to the release of v8.68.2.

Anyone else experiencing this? Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks!
