List all custom fields of an organization

[Bastien_Siebman]

Baby sister is there to get an overview of your teams and projects: iDO Tools - Improve Asana with our tools and automations

Discussed on

Overview of all teams and its projects (including private)

A first version is available! I called it Asana Overview. @Vince_Mustachio I did not implement your requests yet. Team info: privacy level → not available members that are set to approve membership → not available number of non-archived Projects → done a full list of all Projects vs 5 → what do you mean by “vs 5”? a full list of Team members → done Project info: Project owner, Projects with guests, a full list of Project members → will do Sorting and Filtering: project owner → will do p…

I added a new tool to my growing list: the My Tasks cleaner

To simplify the work of the Asana Admin (see 🧭 The Asana admin compass) I added the possibility to show the notification settings of the field.

I improved the tool and added an indicator for archived projects. This is a paid feature but it can really simplify your life as an Asana admin when doing some cleanup!

[Bastien_Siebman]

It is crucial to export that list otherwise you’re gonna learn the hard way that Asana does not have a change trail for custom fields! I added a notice on the tool page saying you can simply export by saving the webpage (Ctrl+S, Cmd+S).

The tool now allows you to list the gid of the enum options (quite handy for developers)

cc @Phil_Seeman thanks for the motivation booster!

Great!

@Bastien_Siebman,

Did you ever consider using align to top for all cell content? When a custom field has either lots of option values or lots of projects using it, I think it would be more readable that way.

Also, in large orgs, the Projects column can have lots of projects for many custom fields which makes the output hard to read, so maybe listing them comma-separated instead of one row for each could reduce the overall size of the report.

Maybe those two things could make the report easier to read for large orgs?

Thanks,

Larry

[Bastien_Siebman]

It would and I definitely will. Thanks

[Larry_Berger_lpb]

And a big ask for the future roadmap would be a CSV (like you offer for Overview). You’d have to collapse some columns (like Options and Projects) to fit in a cell, but perhaps commas would work, or quotes to handle newlines within cells.

Thanks!!

Quick work, and that looks perfect–thanks!!

The multi-select custom field type is now recognized by the tool

This is being finalised, a client paid for it

Terrific! Great to hear!!

The tool now has 2 new features:

• CSV export
• identity of the creator

Knowing who is the creator of a field is really useful if they leave the company: it will allow you to identify which field’s ownership should be changed!

Yes - nice!
