Trying to create a workflow where someone can save a search which shows the tasks that need to be done for any projects due in the next 3 months. Is there a way to do this without setting due dates on all of the individual tasks, or a way to sync up the task due dates with the project due date? We have about 35 tasks per project and we don’t want to have to manually set and change due dates on every task every time we move around our overall project delivery dates.
At the moment the search and dashboards can’t combine filter criteria on both tasks and projects… @ambforumleader any idea?
Do you happen to know of any app addons that’ll help with what I’m trying to do? The alternative might be to dust off my python skills and start up an AWS account just to run an API script that ‘applies project due date to associated tasks every 5 seconds’ or something. Which is also incredibly inefficient and I don’t even know if Asana would allow that amount of constant API calls…
Ideally, all your tasks would be properly dependent on each other, and a date change could be propagated. To be honest I have never seen anyone ask this question, and we’ve worked with a lot of clients… Got me wondering how others are doing it. I guess we change dates a lot…
Flowsana has a date shifter mechanism that could help.
