Can we thumbs down a post to show our dislike of it? LOL . But seriously, it would be super helpful if the calendars were more refined like including the Project name preceding the task. Also, the calendar view in portfolios would be better if you could have a summary view of the concurrent projects, like a roll-up level in other project scheduling tools. I come from a Primavera background, so hopefully you know or can imagine what I’d like to see here.

This should be a straightforward change, project name and task should be easily viewable on the calendar. I agree with all past comments regarding this. Clicking on the task in calendar view to see the project is clunky and wastes time.
Everyone would greatly appreciate this change.

Would love to have this option. We have hundreds of tasks with the same name, colors don’t help, etc., etc.
My workaround is to name the task as:
Task Name: Project Name
Example:
Send to Editor: Emily and Richard
Confirm Proofs: Emily and Richard
Extra work when the tasks start adding up per project, but it’s really the only way to make the calendar work for us. Please add this option!

Hello, I would love to see this feature as well! We do event-based planning most of the time, so it’s difficult to set up events/projects, and then not be able to see all of the projects/due dates on the team calendar. Having to view each project calendar independently makes it hard to see just where we are in terms of overall event-readiness.
Honestly- This is so absurd that it does not exist. It’s been a glaring issue for over a year and it’s insane this isn’t already a fixed issue. How is this proper management if I cant see what project is what in an overview?

I’ve just been using Asana for a couple months, still on the free version.
Wondering if there’s a way to customize the calendar. I checked the documentation (Asana calendar view options | Product guide • Asana Product Guide) but couldn’t figure out a way to have the calendar just show project titles and not display all the tasks associated with the project.
Thanks.
Hi @Ed_Geis, welcome to our Forum, I’d be glad to help! You are correct, at this time, Calendar view only shows tasks within projects, but not the project titles.
We do have a thread on this topic, so if you don’t mind, I’m merging your post so that you and other users can add concentrate your votes in a single thread for this feature request.

how to see project names in the calendar?
let’s say you manage weekly phonecalls with your clients and have “Phonecall” as tasks.
then you see several “phonecall”-task in calendar, but what project?
because i see that your dev department has so many long awaited features from the community and is not able to fulfill their needs, could you please advice me where i can post “asana extension programming” so the community can establish an external programming hub to self develop all the missing things, e.g. a fully working calendar.
is there

What’s the status on this, Asana managers? Are you going to add it to your dev list or not? It’s been out here for 2 years.

Let’s say I have a project template which I duplicate for every new project that my organisation gets. This template is used to track a (typically) 1 month long project, and several projects are active at any given time (around 5-6 at a time are active).
So different phases of these projects appear as tasks in My Tasks. I would really like a feature where the actual name of the project gets appended into the task name.
E.g.
The template has:
Acquire plant information documents
Configure product
Deploy product on site
and my customers are let’s say Ford, Fiat, Tata.
and each of these will have several subtasks. So when these subtasks appear as a flat list of my tasks, I’d like to have my tasks look like:
Ford - Configure product subtask01
Fiat - Deploy product subtask03
Tata - Acquire plant information subtask02
This will really give me a visual sense for which subtasks are pending.

Welcome to the Forum @anon64947718 and thank you for sharing your feedback with us and for explaining how useful this would be for you!
I’m merging your post with an existing thread we have regarding this topic. I hope it’s OK. I would also encourage you to cast your vote
Have a great day @anon64947718!
Any update Asana? this is surely a must. We have multiple projects with the same tasks so the calendar view at the moment is not very useful!

It would help to have the option to view the Team, Project, Task, and Section together in the same box, as needed, for the calendar view. Such an important feature.

Hello Vanessa. Is there an update on this? Unfortunately, I can’t recommend this system to clients until this feature is implemented. Thanks
