I have been using Asana for a few years now and love(d) it. But the removal of “:” was really annoying. Thanks to this post I now found again how to re-add section within sub-tasks, after stop using it for a while I really missed it.  
Questions are:

- why is there no way to add a section in sub-tasks via the UX ? (as there is on the list tasks under the drop-down on the top of a project tasks list)
- I really miss the “:” especially, because it allowed me to paste tasks and sections from any text editor and see them beautifully organised in Asana, like  
Section 1:  
Task 1.1  
Task 2.1  
Section 2:  
Task 2.1  
Task 2.2  
Do we have any hope that this comes back? what does the community think?

I’d be willing to bet you the cost of a year’s Asana subscription that : won’t come back 🙂 (I liked it too!)
