Hi @Jasmin_Schiener , welcome to the forum :wave:

This can actually be ‘visually’ achieved (not technically achieved) with the following workaround, which requires any paid version of Asana:

  1. Create a multi-select type field and populate all the options with the names of all your sections.

  2. Select tasks in each section and set the value of the multi-select to be the same.

  3. Set additional multi-select options for tasks that you want to appear in more than one ‘section’.

  4. Optionally (but recommended), delete all your sections but keep all tasks (first choice in the delete section popup) **note below…

  5. Along the top left of your list view, set the ‘Group by’ button to your multi-select field.

You should now see your list view appear as before, but with those specific tasks appear in more than one section. :wink:

** :exclamation: if you have any rules based on your ‘real’ sections, pause them BEFORE you deleted your sections - then edit your rules and base them on your multi-select field rather than the ‘real’ sections.
