Filtering 'My Tasks' by Project (and ideally Project Column as well)

I think it would be a massive improvement if you could introduce the ability to filter ‘My Tasks’ by Project.
It’s great that ‘My Tasks’ shows all tasks assigned to you, is an independent view of the project lists/boards, and allows you to plan out all those tasks across these 3 time horizons.
A typical scenario, surely, is that you want to focus on one project in particular, with a clear view of what you have planned for Today, Upcoming, and Later.
I am a Premium user and even with the ability to perform Advanced Searches, there is no way to create reports which display the Today, Upcoming and Later view of tasks - all you get is a single list of matching tasks.
Furthermore, it would be great to be able to filter ‘My Tasks’ on both Tags and Board Column Names.
None of these features appear on the surface to be technically challenging and I would argue that in fact this should be a basic, out of the box offering.
Just take a look at Monday.com and Bridge24 (as just 2 examples) to see how easy searching and filtering (and also grouping) is on both system and user-defined fields.
Hopefully this will be introduced soon as it’s one of the key aspects that are going to see me cancel my Premium subscription.

Did you try sorting “My Tasks” by projects? Doesn’t it answer your need?

Unfortunately not - it’s the ability to view my Tasks with the time horizons (New Tasks, Today, Upcoming and Later) displayed, as per current functionality, but then being able to quickly filter that view for any given project to make it easy to see how you are planning to tackle tasks for that project. A bit like the Focus view in Omnifocus. Currently the view shows all tasks across all projects which, for users with a lot of projects & tasks, results in a lot of information being displayed when most users will be looking to focus on just one project at any given time.

Ok so you want both Today-Upcoming-Later and per project sort. Indeed not possible (yet)

I’m also interested in this feature, from the angle of filtering my tasks by ‘not with tag’, so I have a tag like errands, and I want to only view my tasks relating to office tasks, so would like to filter out the errands tag.

Thanks.

Hi @Bart_Kuiper, I stumbled upon this old thread. If you are not already aware, you can use Group (Projects) and Subgroup (Sections), or vice versa, in list view to achieve what I believe you were asking for.

This does not address the request to filter by Project Column, but I think for people looking for similar sort functionality with large task lists, it could benefit them.

Best,

Jeremy

Agree that this would be so helpful! Especially when I want to look at ‘My tasks’ for all projects except for one, or for a specific set of projects, which sorting by project cannot address.

Reviving this thread requesting the ability to filter by Project in My Tasks.

Grouping tasks by project does not meet my needs, for a number of reasons. The way my team uses Asana involves cross-posting tasks frequently, and tasks that I collaborate on are regularly cross-posted to project I don’t personally use. This means that grouping tasks by project in My Tasks results in a lot of dupes and clutter.

There is also a certain kind of task that I track and handle directly from a project view. There are a lot of tasks on this project, but I don’t actually need to see these in My Tasks.

I need a My Tasks view that I can filter to exclude projects that will only show me duplicates or that I don’t want on that dashboard. I’m a little surprised this isn’t possible!
