Hi,  
I have priority column in my project turned on however these priorities don’t show up in ‘my tasks’ view even though I have priority column enabled.

I’ve seen posts on this forum describing same problem but it seems to me I can’t apply solutions offered to my case.

When in the project I go to ‘Customize’ → fields → I have only one option which is Priority  
While in ‘my tasks’ I have ‘priorities’ turned on but they’re blank unless I modify them.

Am I missing something or it’s free version limitation ?

@Jerzy_Lepkowski,

This works for me in the free plan.

I’ve added the Priority field to a project and to My Tasks, and made sure it’s in my org’s field library (next to last checkbox below):

If this is not working for you, [Try these troubleshooting steps](https://help.asana.com/s/article/troubleshooting-browser-and-connectivity-issues), then please create a support ticket: see [How to contact our Support Team](https://go.asana.com/supportteam). (Note: There’s currently an issue contacting Support for some users; I’m not sure if the disposition of that at the moment.)

Thanks,

Larry

Hi @Larry_Berger_lpb , thanks for your answer.  
Everything looks liked you described and showed on a screenshot so I thought it just somehow doesn’t work for me. But I deleted My Taks Priority field, add it again and then it populated priorities from the projects. Not sure why as it seems the same as it was and has the same checkboxes ticked (I can’t modify them anyway). I just hope I’ll continue to work this way 🙂
