+1. Up until now I’ve been using the My Priorities widget to plan my day, but that widget doesn’t allow tasks to be placed in a custom order. This capability exists in the list view, but the Due today section is limited since the rule only runs at midnight, so changes to due dates that happened on a given day won’t be visible until the next day.
+1 Upvote. Stakeholders in enterprises don’t have the patience to wait until midnight. Would be great to have this feature.
+1 Upvote. This is probably low hanging fruit with high ROI for users.
It is very frustrating not being able to run rules manually. You have to wait until midnight to see if you set your rule up correctly. How can you test your rules?
How crazy to have to wait until midnight to run a rule. What if you’re testing rules out? Just wait 24 hours?
Yes, for now that’s the only way…
Completely agree.
My experience so far with My Tasks and Rules has been frustrating - easy rules are not working and say they haven’t been ran, although days have passed.
A manually run, or test this rule feature would be great. Test would allow a person to see what would have been done (matching tasks, actions), then a manually run would actually do the actions.
From what we know, rules work perfectly, you just need to understand the way they work. For example some run at midnight. If you have a bug, feel free to start a new thread.
I have opened a bug.
A bit of feedback - I’ve searched numerous threads on this same issue (rules not running) and the threads get closed down without any insight if the problem was resolved and how it was resolved. It would be a good practice if the threads could be updated with the outcome, otherwise, just opening a new thread is pointless if information isn’t provided on how it was resolved.
Very needed!
+1!!!
I’m about to lead a training and had hoped I could create and immediately run a few sample rules in front of the team. I hope this feature is developed soon!
New user here, seems very weird this isn’t a feature. Don’t people want to actually test their rule in real time to make sure it works vs having to wait until midnight?
We do

It’s a painfully obvious win for Asana. Add my +1 to this.
Is there an update on this? I’ve searched multiple threads, and it seems like this has been in high demand for the past three years. Any chance we can expect this in 2024?
Welcome to the Asana Community Forum @Rodd_Denson ![]()
Asana does not have a public roadmap so we don‘t know.
I recommend reading through this overview on how Asana is listening to feedback.
I just want to jump and say that I’ve been using Asana for a year and I think this would be a great idea.
+1 upvote. Really even if this was available to test recently added rules would be a HUGE timesaver. Having to adjust the next day is hard for implementing new management plans for projects.
