New Multi-select Custom Field Type Already Supported Fully in Asana2Go

[lpb]

Just a quick note to say that Asana’s new Multi-select Custom Field type is automatically fully supported in Asana2Go.

This feature is currently available to many Asana users but is still being rolled out gradually so you may not have access yet.

Here’s more about Asana’s new feature:

Multiple select for custom fields

Hi everyone! I’m thrilled to announce that we are rolling out Multi-select custom fields in Asana! Multi-select custom fields allow the selection of several values at a time. For example, a Social Media Manager needs to assign different channels to the assets they keep track. This and more use cases will be now possible using multi-select custom fields! [Screen Shot 2021-09-07 at 16.01.02] Going forward, you will be able to select “Multi-select” in the Field type whe…

You can see easily see it in Asana2Go (if it’s been rolled out to you) using the built-in Asana2Go Interactive Tables which shows all of a task’s Custom Field values by default:

Responsive list view, multi-column sorts, hide/show 21 columns, filter-as-you-type, and more: Asana2Go Interactive Tables

[image] Want to sort more flexibly by different columns than those currently offered by Asana, do multiple columns sorts, or even just sort descending? Looking for a responsive/adaptive list view to avoid truncation of your content and also make better use of the larger displays? Want to see My Tasks custom fields for multiple task rows at once? Quickly see and interact with any selection of tasks from your My Tasks, projects, or search results, or even any of a task’s subtasks, in a powerful …

And you can use multi-select field values easily in any of your own custom reports in Asana2Go just as you do any other Custom Field value: {{lookup custom_fields_simple 'Social Media'}} displays all the values of the Social Media Custom Field.

Thanks,

I was really excited about this feature but realized that you cannot advance search by any fields with multi-select. When you try to add a custom field in the filters the column that you have multi-select on will not show up. Will this be configured in the future?

Welcome @Alyona_Rybakova,

Just to clarify, what you point out is an Asana limitation currently, not Asana2Go.

But I hope multi-select filters in Asana will be available in the coming months based on this post:

New Custom Field Type! Use Multi-select to evolve how your team tracks work

@Chris_Lahey we’ll be launching Multi-select custom fields on all parts of Asana, including on Forms, Rules, Portfolios, Search, and more, over the next few months!

In the meantime, you could use another feature of Asana2Go which allows very robust filtering-as-you-type to achieve this now:

Responsive list view, multi-column sorts, hide/show 21 columns, filter-as-you-type, and more: Asana2Go Interactive Tables

@Ben_Watkins, Just wanted to alert you to the request for multi-select in filters and see if that’s on the horizon specifically with the areas @Emily_Roman listed?

Thanks,

Larry
