I have a project that we utilize as a kanban board. My board uses a custom field labeled “Stage” to move across the board. I want to Status Update on this project using AI. I have the following sentence in my prompt: _“Highlight tasks where the “Stage” field on any task was updated in this project. Include the previous “Stage” value and the current “Stage” value.”_ The summary says that it does not see “Stage” included in the project dataset. Is there a way to include custom fields in the AI summary? Steps so far: - I’ve added this field to my company’s library - I’ve ensured that “Field Access and Permissions” are open to all users. - On the manual status update UI, I see the “Show or hide fields” dropdown, but it only include four fields… Not sure how I add more fields here. ---

This is a limitation I shared with Asana recently: the Status Update indeed doesn’t see the project’s fields… I was told it was expected behaviour for now. Moving your post to Product Feedback, make sure to upvote
