We now use asana for stock management and a subtask sits under a parent location task. I have been trying to use a QR code generator to quick link to the location task. This would mean that anybody could use a mobile devise to scan a location and instantly update the stock level. Currently when…

I did figure out a way to do it using Excel: [image] Duplicating Tasks also duplicates the Task ID Tips and Tricks @Charles_Haynie , I did figure out a way to do it - not sure if this is the only way but it worked. Instead of just double-clicking the CSV to open it in Exc…

@Giles_Hugo - That is a very cool idea using QR Codes that way… Unfortunately I am no way technical enough to understand why it isn’t working… Each Task has a unique url so in theory it should work… Hopefully some of Gurus in the community will be able to help but will definitely be following thi…

How are you generating the QR code? Are you able to see the actual URL that the code is going to?

The next level would be for asana or an app to embrace the qc code directly (not via a webpage) and to be able to move a task to …

Hi Phil, Do you have any idea how i might export the URL for a number of tasks automatically? This is the biggest stumbling block in my process since we are having to ‘create link’ and copy paste it each time to generate a QR code, whereas to import a database would be slick!
