We are using the Asana Portfolio Status Updates to report portfolio statuses to the EMT. A Portfolio PM typically prepares the status update, but once posted only the preparer can edit it. Is there a way that multiple users can edit, or can contribute to the status update? It seems that if one user is preparing an update, others can’t see their in-process status update or contribut to it. Then, when posted, only the one who posted it can edit it. Thanks!

Hi @anon94891954, welcome to the Asana Community Forum 
At this time, only one user can edit a status update and it is not possible to have multiple users collaborating at the same time.
That said, I’m going to move this post to #productfeedback so folks in the community can upvote it and so our developers can get a better look at the needs of our members 
Collaborators should be able to comment on the posted status.
Best practice would be for the project owners to give their status, then the portfolio owner pull from those to add to the portfolio progress.

Hi, Rebecca!
Is there an update on this topic? I also need to use this functionality.
I usually post status updates and it would be very important if other people were able to edit it.
Thank you!

It would be a cool feature to be able to collaborate on a project status update live with other team members. It could be seen as a draft under messages and other people can edit before the project owner officially posts a final draft.
This would enable more efficiency when a project has multiple leads owning individual milestones.
Hi everyone,
Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback with us on this thread! I’m happy to announce we just launched Collaborative Status Updates for Projects, Portfolios, and Goals 
With this update, you can now invite collaborators to contribute to status updates before they’re published.
Learn more in our announcement and please feel free to comment if you have any questions!
