🪄 Reference fields: set specific list of tasks or projects as dropdown options with two-way referencing (relational back-linking / lookup)

Oh sorry @Richard_Sather, I got confused between this thread and their announcement of the feature release. Asana did release what they planned to for the feature, but not what you asked for in the OP of this thread, so I agree that this thread shouldn’t be marked as Launched.
