Filter tasks by tag

wow since 2018! it’s much needed now more than ever. We need to be able to sort tasks by Tag and add it as a list view, imagine the possibilities

Asana keeps me organized every day, I am so grateful for this app! It would be so helpful if we could sort tags. I see this has been a feature request going back to 2017. I have tasks that are tagged High Priority and Medium Priority but no way to sort to see what is urgent, and have to manually eyeball a rather long list. I see some others have created a High Priority project as a workaround… maybe that will be my solution.

If it helps anyone, I realized I could click on the Calendar view for the tag and at least see by the most current date. I noticed that the default is Weekends Off, with no option to save view. Many of my tasks recur by date, which puts them on the weekends sometimes.

I needed this feature (again) just now. Since it was years ago that I found out this was not possible I figured this would be a standard option by now. Nope :rofl:

Another +1 for this feature! I was just trying to setup a new view in our project and couldn’t believe that tags had been left off the list of filterable fields! What an incredible oversight. People have been asking for this for 6 YEARS now! Come on Asana!

Dear Asana team,
Pls add “filter by tag” option. Absence of such filtering option makes tags totally useless

Yes, agreed! I need to sort my tasks by tag in various views, especially the calendar view for scheduling purposes and it’s so disappointing that we can’t do this. It makes our work far more manual and inefficient.

@Marie, it’s getting close to two years since you said this incredibly useful feature is not in your plans. Are you able to provide an update on whether that’s still the case?

I love the majority of the new features Asana has added over the years, but there are often cases where something that appears relatively simple to implement is missing.

In our case, we use tags to differentiate between different types of task. For example, we use tasks for managing meetings: adding the participants and agenda to the description and creating subtasks for actions from that meeting. However, as such tasks are not really tasks (in the sense of an action assigned to one person), we’d like to have two views in a project: one excluding tasks with the “Meeting” tag (i.e. actions only) and one with the “Meeting” tag (i.e. the “Meetings” list). Currently, there’s no way for us to do this, which is very frustrating!

How does this feature not exist? It seems so basic.

Dear Asana product and dev team, don’t you think that 7 years of complaining by thousands of users kind of justifies implementing filtering tasks by tags?

7 years later and still no tag filtering. It would be useful to show different views to different teams on the same project relevant tasks to them. Tag filtering would be the intuitive way. Please add this function, dearest glorious Asana PM!

We should have the ability to filter projects by fields including tags.
