Right now, I get the completed form and the task pops up and I need to manually set the due date and name. I’m trying to avoid this step.
Thanks,
Adam
No, this isn’t currently possible.
Yes, this is possible! Create a single-line text question to represent the task name; then in the lower right “Settings” area, select that question as the task title.
Thank you
It doesn’t appear I can do the same thing for the due date. Is that correct?
Unfortunately that’s correct.
Can you create multiple forms? Or is it that you can only create one form at a time? Thanks,
Hi @Dominique_Okonkwo and welcome to the forum!
Asana only supports one form per project.
If you’d like to add your vote for multiple forms per project, you can do that here:
That’s what I thought. Not a great feature. I just voted. Thanks!
Hi @Adam_Sharrow,
News flash: this is now possible - you can now set a due date on a Form submission with Flowsana’s new Forms Support capability. You can have the date set relative to the date of the form submission, or relative to a date which the submitter selects in a form field - your choice!
Can i have more than one field from a form appear in my project list?
I have the same issue but cannot find the lower right ‘settings area’ your describe. Any chance you could point me in the right direction? Much appreciated Phil !
Hi @Wietse,
Sure, here’s a video illustrating it:
Hm strange, the ‘item being requested’ option doesn’t show for me.
I’m afraid I think you’ve missed the point; please watch the video again closely. “Item being requested” is just the name of the field I happened to choose to create to map to the task name and I typed that text in.
Let’s approach this from a different angle: tell me what the purpose of your form is - what info is it capturing that you want recorded in Asana?
I just watched the video again, apologies for not quite getting it.
We wish to use this project to keep track of a long list of applicants for one of our programmes. So whilst we use various custom fields in the form, we are keen to ensure the full name of the applicants (the first field they complete on the form) comes up as the task name/title once submitted, otherwise we have to do this manually.
Thank you for your help Phil.
Ah, ok! I should have asked that question sooner as I’m afraid I led you astray with the video.
It sounds like you don’t need to create a new question to capture what will be your task name; rather, you want the built-in “Name” question, which is always the first question in a form, to be your task name, right?
If so, then what you want to do is change the “Settings” to be set to “Name” instead of “Form Name” - that should get you what you want. Here’s a video illustrating that. You’ll see in the video that the value I type into the “Name” field (in my example it’s “Mary Applicant”) becomes the task name:
Let me know if I’ve misunderstood what you’re after.
Ah yes, perfect! Fixed 
Thanks heaps Phil.
Thank you for your help, since i have a similar issue. I however don’t have that dropdown box in the settings when I go to settings. Any idea why that would be or what I can do to fix it?
Hi @anon31668283 and welcome to the forum,
That video shows an older version of the form design screen; Asana has since revised it.
You do have that field, though - it’s the top field right underneath “Task settings” that’s labeled “Select a field for task titles”.
