Options for recurring MyTasks to create new tasks in current section

This is a bit strange, does anyone know why?

• My Tasks: Repeating tasks do not inherit section assignments.
• Projects: Repeating tasks do inherit section assignments.

[My Tasks] Add new recurring tasks to the same section in which the previous task was completed

Briefly describe (1-2 sentences) the Bug you’re experiencing: Recurring tasks, after completed, should reappear under the same location under the Subtask that they were nested. Instead, they appear under Upcoming or Later at the bottom of the view. I’m filling this as a bug because I don’t think the program is intended to work this way. It could be considered a feature request, but I just think the system isn’t working properly. It never has. Please fix it. I’m tired of dragging all my recurrin…

Keep new instances of recurring tasks in the section they were originally assigned to

in the “my tasks” list, I have a section for recurring task. However, whenever I mark one of those tasks as done, the next auto-generated instance of said task re-appears in the “last assigned” section instead of the “recurring tasks” one. How do I fix that? There’s no obvious way to use a rule, because rules don’t understand the “due date is recurring” type of trigger.

Asana has been inconsistent and broken beyond repair for years now. And Product Management seems to not care, considering how many incredibly basic feature requests have been ignored for years

Hello @Ka_Nishiyama - The reason for tasks in the MyTasks that are set to recurring show up in a different section is because all task are automatically placed in the “recently assigned” section. Since a recurring tasks after it’s completion becomes a new task. It is then placed into the “recently assigned” section. I hope this helps! If you have feedback, I will gladly take note it down for our team!

Hi, @Alex_Christensen .
I understand that the behavior you’ve described is the same for My Tasks.
I also understand that it’s possible to set it as the last section in Hacks.

My question (sorry if my explanation is difficult to understand) is that I would like to know why the behavior is different for My Tasks and projects.

Furthermore, in the case of repeating tasks in My Tasks, wouldn’t it be good to have an option to retain the section assignment (Results: Top, Last, Keep)?

@Ka_Nishiyama - I think that would be an awesome addition as an option to have in MyTasks. I am going to move this topic English Forum > Product Feedback!
