Would love it if we were able to search our custom fields from the main Asana search bar, without having to delve into Advanced Search which requires about 6 mouse-clicks to get to the right field in the Advanced Search to then enter the text/number we’re looking for in our custom field. We currently manually type (duplicate) the text/number we’re looking for into our Task Titles as a workaround, but it would be great if we didn’t have to do this.
Hi @Jackie_Clark1 Right now, you can’t search custom field values directly from the main search bar, so Advanced Search is required, which can feel a bit click-heavy. That’s why some teams duplicate values in task titles to make searching easier.
Workarounds:
-
Save an Advanced Search with your custom field filter and star it for a 1-click shortcut in your sidebar
-
Use project-level filters instead of global search when working within a specific project
