Public Calendar Holiday

(Reposting after @Richard_Sather helped :stuck_out_tongue: )

It would be great if we have the option to add public holidays automatically to the calendar - and then block them like we can do with weekends.

What I am asking for is not a workaround like we have to currently do (create our own public holiday calendar to track, and then assign the days as tasks to our team and projects - and then use search and rules and manually move tasks dates [I see your video @Bastien_Siebman and it is a good idea])
I just want the tool to have this function built in!

Would you agree that your request can be merged into Holiday/Leave/Block off time - either as PTO, Holiday, or all day task ?

Would the public holidays automatically be filled in by Asana though, or would we be having to manually input them… I think that is potentially the difference in the ask?

I think we should be able to import public holiday calendar from Google. Bigger companies have different regions with different vacation days and we should be able to mark it in Asana accordingly.

Yes! Having a project and then having to assing tasks to all 30 team members for each of the public holidays is so manual and time consuming - surely there is a much better way!

Do you know that when you open the task pane and click on the assignee field, there is a button at the bottom of the list to assign duplicates of a task? And in that field, you can actually type an Asana team name, which will, as a result, assign a duplicate to every single team member.

Looks like you just saved a ton of time here :slight_smile:
