Not sure if this is the right place for this, but I have got to get some feedback to Asana re: forced conversion from “personal projects” to “workspace”.
First of all, the entire premise makes no sense to those of us who are not web developers or coders. It seems like we are just copy pasting our projects/tasks/sub tasks from one “browser tab” to another.
I have 24 projects to convert. I have had most of these projects for 7 years. They all have multiple recurring monthly tasks. At first, it seemed the conversion went smoothly and did exactly what it was supposed to. I started opening the projects to check the task lists against the originals and that is when the horror struck. 1)Every task in the history of that project was copied over to the new “workspace” 2)Every task was marked “incomplete” 3)None of the tasks came over with their recurring statuses 4)If a project was started by copying another project and then modifying the new project details, the entire task history from the original project was also copied over to the new “workspace”. So some of these projects are going to require 420 clicks just to remove old tasks. If the project was started by copying another one, then it will have more than 420 clicks to clear old tasks.
There does not appear to be a way to bulk delete/mark complete tasks. I did get a little pop up that said I can “ctrl + click” to edit multiple tasks at once, but if the goal is simply to remove old items from 2018-2024 and most of the way through 2025, “ctrl + click” is not going to make it more efficient.
This feels like something that could have an should have been discovered/addressed when you ran a test conversion before springing it on users.
