I am trying to figure out a way to see any time a task is tagged. We reference other tasks by tagging them in the description or in a comment and I need a way to be able to see whenever a particular task is tagged (@ mentioned). How do I do this? Thanks!

Asana automatically keeps a log of these @mentions. Near the bottom of a task’s detail pane, make sure the All activity tab is showing (just clicking it once will set it that way as a default for you) and then look at the fine print: [image]

Hi @Candace_Brenn

I know that this doesn’t solve your need to search for existing tasks that have already been tagged, but moving forward you may want to consider reference custom fields.

Best,

Jeremy
