Thank you so much for sharing your feedback with us @Collin_Vine
Asana Forms have the name and email question by default to ensure you get the contact information of the people who are requesting work from your team but I completely understand how this fields are not relevant for your workflow.
I don’t think this is in our near term plans, but hopefully this is something we can evaluate for future improvements!
That’s a little disappointing to hear, as it seems like it’d be a minimal change to allow the removal of these fields when the user’s use-case doesn’t necessitate them (like in my case).
I’d hope that as a principle the idea of “give user the choice” could be employed here; maybe the product team will reconsider and remove the requirement of these fields. Right now it feels like it was designed for a very specific use-case and that’s being forced on all users vs. designing it for more flexible requirements.
I agree with Collin. This seems over-reaching on the part of Asana. I’m sure they have good intentions, but if we are capable of setting up and managing a project management platform like Asana, I’m sure we can manage including the form fields we require for our use.
I too want to remove the default Name and Email fields. In my case, I want the ‘Name’ field to be mapped to a custom field, not just some text in the Task Description. If we were able to create or our forms and decide which form fields are pertinent to our situation, this would not be a problem.
Please Asana, just remove the block on letting us delete those two default fields. I don’t mind if every new form includes those fields by default. That’s fine, just let us remove them when WE determine they are unnecessary and/or problematic to our goals. Thanks.
Hello - I’d also like to request that we are able to delete and replace the first two questions in Asana forms - Name and email. Our org has no need for the email field but we are unable to replace or delete it currently.
Name and email should be removed or autofilled for logged in users. This is nearly 2020 after all. Makes perfect sense for those not logged in as we need to know who submitted.
Agreed we should absolutely be able to remove these! I want these fields but want them to go to custom fields not description so the standard ones are not helpful and repetitive
I am having the same issue. I want the Name and Email fields to populate in list view from the form, so this is just making my implementation of forms unwieldy and complicated. Please allow us to remove or at least edit/tie to a custom field.
Please allow us to remove the “Name” and “Email” fields from forms! The idea that all forms should have names and emails by default is honestly crazy to me. We won’t be able to use forms for anonymous feedback, for example. This is a serious design flaw, and I am eager for it to be fixed so that we can actually use this feature
