This would be a fantastic feature, and it looks like there was another thread about it too… hopefully these were added together. Establish A Pause Feature - Community Forum English / Product Feedback - Asana Forum

Hi,
Is there any update onhold projects tasks.
There are too many pending tasks for onhold projects.

I have been updating and reprioritizing projects. Some projects will be on hold until a future date but it’s annoying to still have the associated tasks showing in my “current” task to-do lists. I don’t want the tasks deleted but rather on hold with the project.
Currently this is not a feature Asana offers but I think it could be helpful.
Any help from other Asana users as to what you do in this situation other than setting new deadlines for later in the year? Thank you 
I believe this behaviour is coherent with how Asana works elsewhere:
- archiving a project does nothing to the tasks
- deleting a project does nothing to assigned tasks
In your case, there is no “on hold” status anyway on tasks. There is a custom field for status but it is not added by default.
Anyway, Product Feedback was the right category for your post!
Thank you @Bastien_Siebman for your response! I have created custom fields as a workaround for now…

Hello, I would like to ask a question about on hold projects’s tasks. I put on hold status some of my projects, however I see their tasks “incompleted”. How can I collectively put all the tasks under the project on hold into an “on hold” or similar state? I don’t want to receive constant notifications because it is incomplete.

Some workarounds are provided in posts there too.
Thanks,
