New Section Shortcut and Spreadsheet Compatibility

[Garrett_Unterreiner]

Usually, I create my own project templates within google docs and just paste them into Asana. With this new update that took away using a colon to create a section, this doesn’t work very well. Does anyone know how to program a keystroke into the sheet or another work around. Thank you.

Right now I don’t see a solution to your problem. I did not realize indeed that the copy-paste feature would be broken by this new behavior

Yes, @Vince_Mustachio enumerated a number of losses, including this one:

"Tab+N" our new shortcut to create Sections

I’m looking forward to improved Section functionality, but this deployment has led to some lost functionality. Here’s the list I’ve accumulated so far. Are these intended and permanent? No longer able to switch between a Task and a Section and vice versa. No longer able to create Sections by cutting and pasting a list into a Project. No longer able to discern what a Section is in an export. You have to create a Subtask before you can create a Subtask Section. No feature to add a section for …

And there are the temporary issues I outlined until rollout is complete; no way to tell a section outside of Asana (export, API) during transition.
