I am trying to filter tasks in a project by custom fields gids. Is this possible to do like filtering by tag gids? I have tried different things, but at best I only get ALL the custom fields associated with a task, not the specific ones assigned to it.  
This is how I’m filtering by tag gids.

I was able to solve this by getting a list of tasks and then getting custom\_fields, enum\_values. Python code looks like this:  
for i in task\_list:  
print (i)  
link = requests.get(f’[https://app.asana.com/api/1.0/tasks/{i}/?custom\_fields](https://app.asana.com/api/1.0/tasks/%7Bi%7D/?custom_fields)’, headers=headers)

```
	data = json.loads(link.content.decode())
	# print (data)
	dict = data
	custom_fields = dict["data"]["custom_fields"]
	notes = dict["data"]["notes"]
	name = dict["data"]["name"]
	gid = dict['data']['gid']
	# print (name)

# # print (notes)
	for i in custom_fields:
		enum_value = (i['enum_value'])

```
