Search Custom Fields from main search bar

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
