Hi
Is there any option to set tasks Public by default in Asana? We reaaly need this option and it will increase our ptoductivity.
Hi,
A task outside of a project is indeed private by default, you can’t change it.
But a task should almost always belong to a project. If the project is public, your task will be public. Did you consider this?
Hi!
Of course. But not all of our tasks need to be assigned to a project. That is the problem
We realised ourselves it made sense to have “general projects” to host everything. Otherwise it is hard to find a task (except through the search)
Hi! Is there any update here on how to have tasks be auto public? Even tasks I have in projects are showing up private by default.
You can’t enable this behaviour by default I am afraid.
Hello,
Just checking on this thread: any update? Is there a feature request regarding setting tasks to public by default? Our company would also benefit greatly if that functionality were implemented.
Thanks, hope you’re all having a nice week!
Why is this feature request being gate kept?
Because its useful
This app has so many features, but also so many base features missing.
What’s basic for someone, isn’t for someone else, that’s what’s hard for a Product team. 
fyi we wrote 🦄 If Wishes Were Unicorns: Why Asana Might Not Have Implemented that Feature Request (and other thoughts about Asana feature development and product strategy) and I’ll ask the team if it makes sense to include your point in our list
This would really help me, as well. Not everyone’s work is project-based. I get a ton of one-off requests from our sales team - the kind of requests that don’t fit into a project but still warrant putting into Asana so I can keep track of all I’ve done in a given week. I need my boss to be able to see all I’m working on, but that would require setting each task to public individually. (She has specifically asked not to be a collaborator on every task because then she gets overwhelmed with notifications.) If there’s a better way to accomplish that, I’m open to it, but there doesn’t seem to be an obvious answer besides the default public option.
Welcome to the forum, @Patrick_Yeagle! Could you just follow Bastien’s advice from earlier in the thread:
My team also uses project(s) for this purpose; projects don’t have to be time-bound boxes of work, you can just use them as collections of stuff.
I will give it a shot! It’s a bit different from how I currently work in Asana, but I’ll see if this will do what I need.
I just posted a Forum Leader Tip that addresses a few of these issues that have come up in this topic, including a couple from @Patrick_Yeagle.
Please have a look here if you might be interested:
Thanks,
Larry
