I might be missing something here, but can it be as simple as adding a task to multiple projects? I want to primarily operate from the My Tasks page and tag accordingly but I think (?) that is accomplished by adding the task to multiple projects. Am I missing something here? Is the problem that you canā€™t sort by a specific tag across multiple projects? If so, I agree.

How does this not have more votes ?? This is critical and I wonder why it wanā€™t included in the first place.

Agree. There should be tags to allow for things you need but donā€™t want to add as a custom field on every project. For us, this is billable time. I want to add a billable tag, to run a report on any task to add it to an internal project that our team and clients donā€™t see. I donā€™t want to have to buy additional tech to make this happen. For now, skipping the add to project component which limits my reporting capabilities.

Wow, I just had a strong need for this, and realized this isnā€™t even an option? Thatā€™s nuts.

You are be able to move to a section w/o tags. We have a ā€œStageā€ custom field that we use to move (or set when moved another way) to a section. Not sure if that is more complex than tags or not, just thought Iā€™d let you know.

I can tell you why itā€™s probably not done yet. If you look at how Asana Help refers to tags as quick and ad hoc, they clearly view tags as messy and less structured. Right now I am using a text string in a rule to add a comment (ā€œbug_fixā€) to make my own tag work-around. Donā€™t think thatā€™s very structured!

Again, today, I went to create a rule that checks to see if a task has a certain tag or not, and realized I still canā€™t do that. :frowning:

I would really like to not have to employ a ā€œCustom Fieldā€ workaround for something like this that should really have been implemented in rules by default.

The problem with Custom Fields is now they have to be added to every project that needs it. They are also harder to search, as you simply canā€™t just double-click on a custom field to get all matching selections like you can do with tags.

Thanks!

Bump, this seems simple and can avoid me having to continue to pay to utilize third party options. Please hear us ASANA Dev Team.

Here to ask for the same rule.
Iā€™d like to add tags so we can track which team is doing or has done work within a specific task.
Itā€™s easiest with tags that way we can each track our progress.

36

Must-have feature IMO!

37

Surprised that this is not in the product yet.
+1 on needing this. I want to use the same rule on multiple projects and donā€™t want to pollute them with a new custom field just for my purpose

Would also find it beneficial to have rules based on tags. +1 for request
