Even though the Measurement in Edit progress settings is set to Tasks complete.
I want to have 1 milestone with 40 subtasks and have the project updated based on percentage of subtasks completed. Otherwise I have to make the subtasks separate tasks and things get messy.
Any thoughts?
P.S.: As new user I can’t post more than 1 image. I had it all showing in screenshots…
you have it set to “tasks complete” and that is exactly what it shows you.
Not sure if the goal feature is the best way to track subtasks. Maybe is better for what you’re trying to track.
AFAIK there is no option to also track subtasks
You can find some Info here:
Automatic progress will be calculated from sub-goals or projects (added on the goal’s detail page after creation). For manual goals, add a progress metric to show the % complete, dollar amount reached, or an objective yes/no if it’s complete.
Hm yeah it’s just a bit unintuitive to set milestones but not see progress represented by the milestones completed subtasks imo… Cause one milestone has only 2 short subtasks, another one has 10 and they both contribute 50% when set to milestone or tasks…
Checking in to see if any work arounds with partners have been developed OR workarounds in Asana. Our team is eager to make those subtasks count toward their goal progress!
Goals automatic progress for milestones or regular tasks applies only to top-level tasks that are members of the project. (In case you’re not aware, subtasks are connected to their parent tasks who are project members, but the subtasks themselves are not, by default, project members.)
As a workaround, you could show a task in the task detail pane and type Tab+P (or Task actions menu > Add to project) to add the subtask itself to the project, and then it will participate in the goal progress as a top-level task now. It will appear in two places: as subtask, and as top-level task.
If you want to hide the side-effect of the appearance in the project at the top level, make a Hidden Subtasks section, move it to the bottom of List view, collapse it, save view, home those subtasks in that section, and they will be as out of the way as possible.
When attaching a task that has sub-tasks to a goal, the sub-tasks should count toward the progress of the goal without having to connect each individual subtask to the goal as if it is a separate task. If I have a single task connected to a goal that has 8 subtasks, and I have 2 of those completed, the progress should show a 25% progress towards completion of the goal.
