From previous Forum posts, it looks like there used to be a way to “set layout as default” in order to hide completed tasks by default in list view. But it looks like that option has gone away. Is there a way to do this now? (Asana Version 2.1.2 (2.1.2))

Welcome to the Asana Community Forum @Bethany_Laursen 👋

If you are referring to the “My Tasks” then you can filter it on the right-hand side

The filter you set should stay saved for you.

Now for projects you’d have to filter as well

Then if changes were made on the top right click the “save” button

In terms of saving as default as you can see in my case List view is set as default so the option is greyed out

If I want another view default, such as board then the option is available

Let me know in case you have additional questions.

Thanks!! I didn’t know that’s what the “save” button did!
