I was excited to use the new Templates function, but see that it goes ahead and creates a task for the Task Owner in My Tasks before it is turned into a project and clutters up their Task list. Is there any way to have task owners assigned in the template without it moving to My Tasks until you crea…

Honestly, the workarounds are ok in my opinion and should not prevent you from gaining so much more by transitioning to Asana.

I find it difficult to weigh. I love a lot of what Asana does, and I applied the workaround that is suggested (moving everything into the “later” category). However, I also received an email on Friday at 4:55am entitled “Your Friday update” that included a bunch of template tasks that were overdue…

The workaround is not feasible and doesn’t work in a big enough organization, as far as I can tell. We’ve lost multiple such templates when the individuals misunderstood the point of those tasks and modified the template. It wouldn’t be much of the problem if we could read-only the entire thing, but…

Does anyone have any other workarounds besides moving tasks to later, which isn’t working well for us? I tried to skim through this long thread but didn’t see anything else. As a new Asana user, I’m really disappointed that there has really been no solution to this, besides the fairly ineffective wo…

Thank you! Helpful, but still would love for Asana to actually fix this.

Seriously, how has this request not been implemented yet? The first message was back in 2017 and yet here we are in 2021 and nothing has been done to resolve the issue…even with over 800 votes! What’s up, Asana team? It really doesn’t seem like you are actually hearing and implementing feature re…

I found another work around, which is not the answer we are looking for, BUT it is easier than the others and it takes them off of the task list. In the template check all of the items as completed. Create the template (there is something funky with the dates, I just created a bunch until I figured…
