I recently switched from a trial membership to the free version of Asana and have custom fields that I set up when I was on the trial version.

I would like to delete the custom fields but it appears that option is not available. I’d rather not recreate the project without those fields. Is there a workaround here?

@Jeff_Angell,

You can try asking support (I’m not positive if they’ll do that, but worth a try): To create a support ticket, go to [www.asana.com/support](http://www.asana.com/support) (make sure you are logged in to Asana) \> click the chat icon at the bottom right \> type “speak to an agent” \> click “Yes” \> click “Something Else” \> click “Create a support ticket.”

If you were willing, you could do this yourself by creating a new project and “re-home” all tasks (completed and incomplete) into the new project: Multi-select 50 tasks at a time and 1) add to the new project, and 2) remove from the old project.

Thanks,

Larry

Thanks very much for the suggestion -

I am up for the work certainly - How do i re-home a Task? Thoughts on exporting and then importing into a new project?

See Multi-homing and Add to project here in the Forum or Asana Help.

Export/Import will lose all comment threads and some other info as well; that’s why I recommended the above.

Hey @Jeff_Angell ,

This mini guide may also help:

> Note: Not a solution but marked as such to elevate a key reply For anyone struggling with the loss of dragging tasks into projects in the sidebar, below is the ‘intended’ way that I believe Asana would like us to add or move tasks from one project to another.
