Recently assigned problems

[Nik_F]

Is it possible to remove the ‘Recently Assigned’ section? What is the point of having a ‘Today’ due section if items due ‘Today’ get mixed with items due some other time in the ‘Recently Assigned’ section? This is really annoying for people who use Asana for personal task management where only one person ever gets assigned anything.

Thanks. I know what it is, and I don’t want it. Is there a way to remove it. It doesn’t help, only clutters.

I don’t appreciate having this category shown permanently; I preferred when it only appeared (as “New”) when there was something in it. The encouraged workflow is to keep this section empty by moving to…

Remove headers from My Tasks section

Is there a way to remove section headers from the My Task view? I don’t want to ‘complete’ it since it’s not a task and there’s no way to push it to the Later section either (which wouldn’t solve the problem, but at least remove it from my New Task section.

Have a nice week Nik!
