With the recent update to mark projects as not only On Track, At Risk, Off Track, and Complete, it is necessary to add an option for Cancelled. When a project gets cancelled we have to create a workaround process to archive, but there is no status to show that the project is Cancelled. Requesting that this be added as an option for project status updates.
Technically, your status Title would be CANCELLED and the Status at the time of cancellation would be the traffic lights.
Hi @Cassidy_Clark, thanks for providing this feedback!
While this feature isnāt available right now, hopefully itās something our Product team can implement in the future.
Iāll keep you posted and let you know if we have any updates

Hey do you mean you would update the title to CANCELLED? - I donāt think this is enough.

I share the same frustration.
Iām maintaining a Portfolio of 56 projects and some of them were cancelled, after being āOn Holdā for several months as the priorization and focus changed.
Within our reporting we need to know all the different status of the projects and these projects should be identidied.
Yes, adding in the tile āCancelledā is a workaround but that messes with the KPIs of the Progress Dashboard.

Hi there, my team is wondering the same thing. Although cancellation is not the goal, it is possible. Also, with the new option of company goals, the completion of projects is an update feature. With this in mind, my team is running into the issue of making a work-around process to ācancelā a project. A cancellation feature will help us manage our company goals, as well as team goals. I hope this feature comes available!

Can we add āCanceledā to the project status drop-down options? Some projects get started but then are canceled. Itās technically not complete since there werenāt any deliverables, but I also donāt want it counting toward my project dashboard and reports.

Welcome to the Asana Community Forum @Caitlyn_Kostecki 
Thank you for sharing your feedback! I have merged your request into an existing thread. Donāt forget upvoting
Hi there! Is there an update on this ask? I like to know if adding ācanceledā to the project status options is going to be available shortly.
Considering this thread only has 22 votes and is a few months old, while threads that are five years old with over a thousand votes have yet to be addressedā¦I donāt like our chances of seeing this feature anytime soon unfortunately. Fingers crossed Iām wrong! 
Rebecca, whatās the status of this ask? Seems like a lot of people would benefit from this feature. Right now, I have PMs not assigning a status until movement is made and just in case the project gets canceled. I have projects that were assigned a status and once you have assigned a status, you canāt remove that status. Iām trying to think of a work around so any advice would be appreciated.

Posting here again to see if there has been any movement on allowing āCancelledā to be an option for project status.
