Welcome, @Tessa_Lankhorst,
Is this the same as what you’re asking for:
If so, click that topic’s title to scroll to the top and vote by clicking the Vote button; that’s the quickest and most effective way to express your support for a request. And let me know so I can merge this thread into that one.
If not, then please add a new request in English Forum > Product Feedback and vote there.
The approach in Asana is generally to use the Asana Inbox notifications, and make sure you’re collaborating on tasks you want to follow, a member of projects, etc., then religiously keep up with the Asana Inbox to track activity. And the tasks “come to you” there-- when you click the notification, the task or other object appears on the right side–no need to navigate away. Not the same, but that’s the way Asana operates by default.
Thanks,
Larry
