Holiday/ Leave schedule - It would be great to have a section where you could put in ‘Away’ days for leave or holiday and you can not add tasks on these days or be assigned tasks on these days. Alert will then show. You’d have to make current tasks highlight too if they are in that date range or yo…

I would like to submit a feature request that would enable a user to set “blackout dates” when they can’t be scheduled for a due date on a task. For example, our graphic designer has multiple dates this summer when he is unavailable. As a project manager, it would make my job so much easier if he w…

Hello @Janie_Williamson welcome to the Asana Community Forum :wave: Here is an existing feedback thread for you to upvote :slight_smile: : Holiday/Leave/Block off time - either as PTO, Holiday, or all day task

3 years gone and still nothing. I have to unnecessarily add a day to my tasks if theres a Sunday in between. And obviously there’s no way to manage my tasks if there are holidays in between. I am surprised they haven’t incorporated this still, after 3 years!

If there’s a task spread throughout the holidays, the hours will apply through that too. Hence the workload feature becomes inaccurate. Please have t…

My understanding is that if you choose “Show me as away” and select the OOO period, it would notify your team if they try to assign you a task?

I don’t believe it notifies them, I believe you only appear “transparent” with a warning as an assignee. Haven’t tried myself, worth a try though.

I just submitted a help ticket trying to figure out how to not schedule tasks on statutory/bank holidays, and found out it’s not a feature, and eventually found this thread. I’m shocked this has been requested for 4 years at this point with no movement on it from Asana. I was shifting some task due…

Simply adding a voice to the conversation! While the “show me as away” function is a nice visual indicator, it doesn’t help me schedule projects in advance. Having the ability to block out org. wide initiatives/holidays/vacations would certainly help prevent last minute schedule changes and adjust…
