Specify tasks assigned to multiple projects and main project in multihome mode

[Ka_Nishiyama]

Asana’s biggest feature is the ability to assign tasks to multiple projects.

As a request, it is now possible to set the main project when linking multiple projects added to a task.
However, the main setting is not mandatory.
It would also be helpful to have a warning when changing (or deleting) the primary settings.

As an alternative,

Locking tasks into projects

Is there any way to lock the project field on tasks please? I am creating a project and don’t want anyone to be able to remove the tasks from the project (else my project is incomplete!). Is there anyway that I can lock this field so the task is never removed from the project by other people who have access to the task (mainly by being assigned to them to carry something out). Thanks in advance! Lucy.

It is useful to have a warning when changing (or deleting) the main project.

So you would want to be notified if the task is removed from this project then?

@Ka_Nishiyama How do I set the main project when linking multiple projects to a task? I have a task in multiple projects but I need to set 1 project as the primary in order to make sure the tasks uses the color-coding from the primary board. When I’m viewing in Timeline view, it changes the color to the other board’s color, rather than the category color.

Hi, @Charla_Rowe
Thank you for endorsing aspects that may have been unclear in my explanation.

Unfortunately, at present, it is not possible to configure the main project, so I am proposing it this time.
