Forms - Few Questions

[Adam_Sharrow]

1. With forms can you link a date field so it sets the due date on the task automatically?
2. Can I have the Task name as a field form so it’s setup automatically

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

[Phil_Seeman]

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:

Allow to have multiple forms attached to the same project

Multiple Forms per Project Each of our projects have multiple things we could use a form for - only being able to do a single form for an entire project drops the utility of this tool from almost-immeasurable to cute-but-basically-useless. We would like to have different forms for entering notes during different kinds of meetings. A form for creative briefs at the start of the project. A form for gathering information from a client. A different form for gathering other kinds of information from…

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!
