Subtask Question

We were wondering if it was possible to make a rule where if the Main task is closed out then it cloeses out all of the sub-tasks as well and marks them as complete?

We have a lot of subtasks that do not get marked as complete and then remain on the user’s homepage. It would be nice so that when the main task is completed then any sub-tasks are also marked as complete.

@Joshua_Hamblin,

This is not possible natively in Asana, but @Bastien_Siebman has written a third-party tool you could use:

Hope that helps,

Would love for a native solution to this as we cannot use 3P solutions in my company instance.

We’re having this issue too and I came to see if there was a solution

It would be helpful to at least give users a warning when they close out the main task like “you still have incomplete subtasks - would you still like to close this main task?” and either do it for them or give them the reminder that they should

Please add this functionality, perhaps in “Hacks,” as a slider so as not to cause pain for those who don’t want it (if that’s the barrier for why you haven’t done this already.)
