Ahhh…so you have no recourse given the Asana change and the Fluid App environment. I sympathize.
As to why Asana did this… Not to put words in Asana’s mouth (so to speak!) but I wonder if a change like this is influenced by the fairly recent movement trying to be more conscious about the effect on a user’s ability to focus of notifications, badges with counts, and the like. I appreciate that, but I think this is a good example of a case where it’s hard to imagine a solution working for everyone. Perhaps a default of the way it is now because that’s Asana’s intent, but addition of a setting for you to change it. This is exactly what I had in mind with my feature request: General request: Be more liberal in offering user settings where helpful, though I’m afraid that only has two votes as of now!
Thanks,
Larry
