we’re just setting up asana as our project management software and so far it is great. Only recently we stumbled upon some problems:
Custom Filter
In the List view, we want to filter by a custom field and it is working. The only problem is that you can’t see subtasks anymore, although they also have the same custom field setting checked.
We have a task with several subtasks and several custom fields. One custom field should trigger to add a subtask to another project. Apparently it only works for tasks and not subtasks.
Is there anything planned to address these issues or is there some kind of workaround?
A search with custom filters would allow you to do this.
Indeed rules don’t apply to subtask. If you want a rule on subtasks, those subtasks have to be multi-homed in a project with those rules… What some people do is multi-home subtasks into the project itself (in a section called “Subtasks” at the bottom).
A search with custom filters would allow you to do this.
I guess, but then everything is listed in this search view and I lose the overview with my sections. It would be nice, if you filter your tasks, subtasks are not automatically excluded.
It’s a workaround, which unfortunately does not help in my specific situation, but I didn’t know that you can search with custom filters. That’s new to me, so thanks for this

Do you see what I mean?
Ahhh, that’s nice. It worked. Wow. Thanks for this one
