When using AI to draft a project status update, with your perfectly crafted prompt, Asana prevents you from submitting it, waiting for you to pick a status (on track, off track…). Isn’t it backwards? Isn’t AI supposed to tell ME what the status is?

I’ve had clients ask me the same thing! I guess the ststus dropdown is used as part of the prompt 🤷‍♂️
