While we have external forms, many of our forms are from our own department. And they are all on Asana. So it would be nice if things like Name and Email could be filled out by selecting the Asana user’s name just like if you were assigning them. This just saves repetitive data entry.
If Asana adds the ability to add collaborators to the form’s created task, this should also be selected the same way.
And … If User that is submitting Form is logged into ASANA, then he/she should be added as a Follower.
We use forms to allow employees to submit tasks for the tech team, and manually add the submitter as a collaborator so they receive updates on progress via email, and are already in the loop when clarifying questions arise.
Given the logged-in employee is already known by the system, it would be more efficient if (a) they didn’t need to manually type out name/email for every submission, and (b) there was an ‘add me to collaborators’ checkbox.
Asana support have confirmed that it’s possible to “create a custom field with the name of all the people who’ll submit the Form and then trigger a rule that can automatically add that same user as Collaborator of the task.”
However the number of employees means that listing them individually (and keeping the list updated as part of the on/off-boarding tasks) will be impractical, so we’re seeking support for this feature to be prioritised.
Many thanks in advance for your consideration!
Any idea if this was ever added>?
This would be a huge improvement for our intake process. Users must be logged in to access/submit our form so Asana already knows who they are. Having the ability automatically add them as collaborators and automatically fill out the submitter information would be so welcome.
If the submitter name is able to be imported during submission, it would be great if the name could also be transposed within the Creator field. Currently, when using the form, the create field is not auto-generated with a name. The only time a name will appear under Creator is when a task is created manually within a project.
Strongly agree with the need to have the creator field be auto populated by the person who submitted the form - that seems like a no brainer. Also with having to manually enter an email address when the user is already logged into Asana is frustrating.
It is a no-brainer. Agreed. This is an obvious feature that’s been desperately needed… for almost 5 years.
Is this still not available?
Somehow I see it in some forms and not in others - even within the same template.
Is there a way to set it up?
Hi @Silvia_Paolucci , welcome to the forum 
You will see that in forms that have enabled the below settings:
You can read more about this recently added feature in the Asana guide, here.
Additionally, happy to say that it seems this Product Feedback has been addressed. A form with its settings set to ‘Organization only’ access AND ‘Add submitters in my organization as task collaborators’ will result in automatically prefilling their name and email address in the form’s relevant questions! 
@Marie , case closed?
Is there any way to auto add the submitter as a collaborator if they have an Asana account, but keep the form open to all? We need to keep our form public since not all employees have Asana access.
Not with Asana natively. You can do this using the “Add form submitter as a Collaborator” option of the Forms Support workflow in our Flowsana integration.
