include URL to task in export CSV

[Floris_Assies1]

The URL to a task should be included in the export CSV file.

this has been suggested in 2018 but in ‘use cases’ > Including the Task Url in Export

this feature would really make my life easier!

Please vote up!

I disagree, the URL to a task is really easy to create with the gid, so you can create your own column if you need it. A CSV is about providing the basic building blocks, and then you do the work to build what you need with it

When you import the CSV, the taskId is a number instead of text so that the task id in Excel is wrong… Not easy solution and a lot of manual process that is crap!

For reference:

Duplicating Tasks also duplicates the Task ID

I do see that if I open the same CSV in Google sheets I get a different last digit, but that digit is a zero in Excel. It is either rounding down always or replacing the last digit with a zero in Excel. When I expand the sheet in Excel, I can see that all the last digits are zero. That tells me that we are somehow dropping the last digit and replacing it with a zero in Excel. Any ideas on how to avoid that? [image] [image]

Which I believe is something Asana can’t do anything about, a CSV doesn’t carry anything about the format, it is as raw as it can be.
