Search of custom fields when adding dependencies

English Forum Tips and Tricks

Here we go again! :smiley: This one is a bit different because I don’t even find a workaround about it.

It has been previously discussed that it is not super easy searching Asana based on custom fields (You can use the main search and add a filter).

  • How would you search the custom fields when you are trying to add a dependency (Blocked by, blocking)? Looks like there is not even a workaround.

  • As it is already discussed before, please understand that a “filter” is something that receives a wider input and “filters” out the unwanted. It is counter intuitive even in the main search that the search is not inclusive of custom fields, and then you have to add a filter to “include” searching them.

Thank you

Hi @Morton, welcome to the Asana Community Forum :wave:t2:

When adding dependencies, it is not possible to search by custom fields. To add a dependency, you can search using the task name or copy and paste the task URL directly in the search bar.

If there is a feature you would like to see implemented in Asana, you can create a thread in the #productfeedback with more details.

I hope this helps :slight_smile:
