Hi Asana team! I understand that timelines are automatically extended when a task is moved to cover a weekend, and do not automatically reduce back to the original duration when shifted again. I also understand this is the way the format is intended to work (shared links below to closed threads discussing this). Unfortunately, this adds a ton of work, as many folks have mentioned above.
I can see hiding weekends as a fantastic solution for this. If we do not include weekends, timelines do not auto extend or have a need to be reduced.
Alternately, is there an option to set the duration as a set number of business days rather than a date range? Then those business days never change, and skip weekends when need be.
Edited to add: this feature is an option in services like smartsheet & I believe are handled by allowing the user to choose business days or calendar days as their record format. Thank you!
This would be a huge benefit both from my personal use case and based on the comments I see above. Thank you!
