Permission issues - participant can't asign values to custom fields

For guest users a bunch if things are different. I remember a couple of discussions such as this one.``

Please read my post again. We were talking about fields, not user accounts.

@Emily_Roman

For example, if the project is private, the custom fields are local (only part of this project) and you are only added as assignee of one task, you won’t be able to see the fields.

This is not true. A user that is not part of the project and is then made a participant (not assigned, just added at the very bottom, don’t confuse that please) in the task, can see everything and even change a lot of things like the description. However, he can’t edit the custom fields.

@Andrea_Mayer

If a task is assigned they will have more abilities such as reassigning the task for example, etc since they are basically responsible for the task and will also see it in their my tasks.

I’m quite sure you did not understand the issue here. Please read my post again. The answer does not in any way make sense.

I’m talking about a set of permissions A given by project membership and a set of permissions B given by being a participant of a task. However, in Asana, permission set A annihilates permission set B and the user loses permission, when the intention is to give him more permissions.
