On some of our project plans we have multiple projects setup using the sections as the project title. When my team goes to their My Tasks view they are not able to see what section the task is from without selecting the task and opening it. Is there a way for it to be visible on the task card or list view when in My Tasks?
Hi @Steven_Bennion, thanks for reaching out!
Great question. At this time, it’s not possible to view the project Section in My Tasks. That said, I’m going to move this post to #productfeedback so folks in the community can upvote it and so our developers can get a better look at the needs of our members

@Steven_Bennion as a workaround for now, you might consider using tags which do show up in Mytasks.

Thank you @Getz_Pro!! Great workaround, my team also thanks you.

Upvoting; seems absurd that a core Asana label like Section is not available to be added as a column in list view.

We need this as well. The tag workaround requires us to modify project twice (section & tag).

Upvote! I live by sections on the main board for one team, but have to work out of My Tasks or risk missing things in other teams. How can I view sections from the original board on the card view in My Tasks?

I voted for this too.
Until/if Asana addresses this natively, Asana2Go (disclaimer: I’m the creator) offers a Section column as shown below.

On more time coming to the Asana community to see that a much needed feature is missing.
So, the solution is a 3rd party Chrome extension? But I’m using the Asana app… does the Asana app allow me to install Chrome plugins on it? Seeing as the section, as used by my team, is the current status of the task, it’s kinda critical info for me in My Actions and list views. Having to toggle among multiple views/tabs/windows to get certain pieces of information so I can efficiently work in the system seems contrary to the idea of “efficient,” which I had thought was the goal. I suppose I can look at the API, if I ever get time… just seems odd that there are relevant data points that have been eliminated from some views. If the info is not important, why include it in any views? If it is important, how can dropping it in some views make sense?
@Rob_Wood1 - welcome to the forum! I assume the difficulty with implementing this would be for tasks multi-homed across projects. Any solution to show section info at a glance would take up a lot of screen real estate.
Make sure you upvote this post using the purple Vote button near the title. If @lpb’s Asana2Go isn’t a viable option for you (not sure if it’s compatible w/ desktop app) and if your sections correspond 1-1 with status, perhaps using a single-select column for status and a rule that mirrors the section into this field would be an option (this is what my team does).

I agree with @Stephen_Li’s workaround as the best approach.
Asana2Go only works with browsers, not the desktop app.
It used to be that the projects column did show the section in the project; those were the days!
Thanks,

Same here, missing the Sections name in the My Tasks View.
This kindly of basic fuctionality should already have been implemented
When viewing My Tasks, it’d be very helpful to be able to see Sections. My quick suggestion would be use the combined, pill/tag style that shows Project and Section name together that are shown when you look at a tasks details in the Project column in My Tasks - that seems like it’d work well for users who have tasks in multiple projects.
I also wouldn’t mind a separate column for Section, as we often use the same Section names across projects and it would be nice to sort/group on Section across projects.
