Whenever I click anything in the left navigation pane (favorites/tags, other users in my team, project names, etc), the main task pane in the middle expands to hide the details pane on the right.
I navigate using the left pane quite often, so the details pane on the right is constantly auto-hiding.
In order to show the details pane again, I need to click on a task. Since I ALWAYS use the details pane when working in tasks, this is alot of extra click and panel re-sizing.
Is there a way to always show the detail pane by default, so it does not auto-hide?
Particularly with the new list view this would save me a lot of time having to open and close the Details Pane, having an option to pin it or have it always open would be great.
Iām adding my voice to this request. Itās very annoying for the details pane to close automatically. I rely on dragging tasks into subtasks and constantly battle the destination taskās detail pane closing on me while attempting to select the tasks to drag into it.
Hi everybody!
Seems like this is an old topic and a lot has changed in Asana sinceā¦
Currently, in the List, Board & Timeline views, you can open the āTask Detailsā panel of a task and then when you select another task, the task details panel remains open between those clicks. The task details panel only closes once you click out of it, hit ESC key or click on itās collapse arrow along the top right. So it seems like this has been fixed since the initial post.
Additionally, you can use the keyboard shortcut [Tab]+[Enter] to open the Task Details panel of a selected task.
I think this is not really an old topic.
I think showing / hiding the detail panel bothers a lot of people Me too
It is also often more comfortable to not have so much white space in the List view, to have an asignee field closer to the task name field.
And - Asana had that feature a couple of years beforeā¦
This is an old topic but NO, the functionality of this missing feature has not changed. Please read my original post. The details pane still closes when anything in the left-side nav pane is clicked. Iād like an option for it to stay open.
However, I have discovered that clicking anywhere in the empty space to the right of a task opens the detail pane, which is faster than my old method, which was to hunt down the little > āexpandā button located on the far right side of that empty space.
Hey Asana - As a user I would like to see the details show for the last task selected in that project so that if I click to another project, inadvertently click white space, or choose other functions, I will not have to re-click tasks to find my place.
