Forms integration: Can form submissions modify existing tasks?

If I read the docs correctly, the Google Forms and WUFOO forms integrations can be used only to create new tasks on form submission. Is that right?

I have a need to expose some tasks in an Asana project to other people in my company, some of whom may not have Asana accounts set up. I’d love, for example, to generate a dynamic form that includes a list of tasks, like:

  • Task A
  • Task B
  • Task C

They could choose a task, then click submit, and some field value attached to that task would change as a result (or a comment is posted to that task).

I’m just trying to confirm if form submissions can modify existing tasks, or only trigger creating new ones.

Did you have a look at Zapier to connect everything together?

Thanks. I was checking out automate.io, but will take a look at Zapier!

+1 for this. We have a project template that is used over and over. In addition to have a form be included as part of the project template, it would be great if we could link the form to tasks in that template. For example, if we had a date field on the form, it would then set the due date for a task on the project.

Big ask- but would create an incredible efficiency!

I also have this use case. We have users submitting tickets via a form, and we would like them to link the ticket to prior tickets using a multi-select dropdown that is the list of existing tasks in the project. This would be a HUGE benefit to link tickets.

Need Forms to reference data from Tasks & Projects!!!

  • Have a form be able to list projects from teams in multiple dropdowns in separate questions in the form.
  • Be able to multi-select projects in a dropdown from the same team so form data can place a task in multiple projects. or be able to search multiple projects using a search field in a form after selecting a single or multiple projects.
  • Be able to search a predefined project (in the form) for a task by having a search field in the form and then just typing in the name of the task and then selecting the task
  • Be able to change specific Custom Fields of a task from a form by selecting the task and then checking a box in a form.

Usability Example:

  • Fill a form that’s in an ORDERS Project for each item that’s bought. Then if its being delivered, the form can indicate when it’s being delivered (custom date field) and chose from custom field linked in the form for what location its shipping to.
  • Receiver at that location gets an updated list view in a project of what is on order for that location
  • Receiver gets the package, and wants to mark it as RECEIVED,… but we want them to fill a form to indicate damage if there is any with photos, easily from mobile.
  • This requires a form that is connected to the orders project and allows the user to type the select from a dropdown the list of orders arriving, then they can indicate any damage if any, submit photos, and submit the form which if there’s damage,it may change the flow and set a custom field in th order project to PENDING RETURN AUTH, so that the order manager can then request for a new order and access the pics of the damaged package for filling the claim.
