Hi
We use Asana for our artwork tasks. Since you have introduced the new way projects are seen, deadlines are sllpping. When you used to go into a task our bespoke fields: status and priority etc would show for both. That way artwork could see if amendments were needed or approvals had been made. Now both teams appear in task but the the drop down menus are collapsed. The old way was a lot easier - you could see that the task was in both teams but only had one set of fields.
This again adds one more step as many of the changes have added.
Hi @Jo_Morris
It sounds like the previous setup made it easier since both teams could instantly see shared status and priority fields in one place.
A couple of quick tips that may help:
-
Make sure both projects are using the exact same custom fields from your organization’s field library, rather than separate copies with similar names. When it’s truly the same field added to both projects, it will only appear once on the task and stay synced across both teams.
-
If certain updates are critical not to miss, you could add a lightweight rule that comments or @mentions stakeholders whenever the Status or Priority field changes. That can help reduce the need to constantly open the project sections.
-
A saved search or dashboard filtered by those same fields can also help surface tasks needing amendments or awaiting approval without requiring users to click into every task individually.
There is an active thread where folks are sharing feedback on the updated view of projects and fields in tasks. Upvoting and adding your workflow details there really helps our product team see impact: Updated view of projects and custom fields within tasks needs improving
