Hello. We have been using Asana for a long time now. Occasionally you will make changes, that though we feel are unnecessary, and does not improve the workflow, have not been detrimental to that. This new feature that was just released IS extremely disruptive to our workflow.
The new feature separates different project fields into their own drop-down. Previously, all fields were combined into a single list of fields, which was great to be able to assign fields quickly, because the list always displayed. Now, if it is a subtask, it collapses all the projects the subtasks is a part of, meaning you constantly have to click the drop-downs to set the fields. We are constantly getting confused now as to where the data is, and having these multiple lists of fields is unnecessary and killing our efficiency, causing errors at times as well.
I don’t understand the need for this feature… what is it fixing? Is it helping anyone, or just disrupting our workflows? It still ceases to amaze me the “features” that are added that do NOT help workflow. People need options. If a feature like this is going to be released, we should be given an option to use the old layout! Asana can’t really think they know what’s best for all its users, do they?
