Does anyone know if it’s possible to set up a project, it’s tasks and subs in list view then convert that project over into boards? Thanks! [22717_2] Update from @Marie (April 2019) **I can confirm we’re now actively working on this feature and planning to implement it very soon! Keep an eye on t…

My org hasn’t gotten this rollout yet. I don’t care so much INHERENTLY…I am 96% on Lists with only a few Boards…but I would really, really like to understand all the new behaviors & breakages that I’ll be seeing when the rollout comes. Like many of us, I put a lot of thought and effort into struct…

[image] Stephanie_Oberg: that data will be wiped out silently when the rollout comes. It’s not quite so drastic, @Stephanie_Oberg . When their migration processing finds a section with data in it (i.e. anything other than just a name), after it converts that old-style section to a new-style se…

Oh got it! Good to hear. Can you tell me, where does one go to learn these details and behaviors?

It’s an excellent question. There’s no single place that I know of. I know a lot about Asana changes mostly from spending a lot of time here in the forum, including in the Developers section where a lot of the details are covered; in my case, I HAVE to understand the details in order to insure that …

For those that have been migrated to this feature, can you provide clarification on how a list is translated to “columns” on the board? Is it by custom field? Section? etc… Curious to see how the tasks will be displayed when changing views.

Thanks @John_Lennon !. So according to your screenshot it is converting “Column name” (in board view) to “Section name” (in list view). I find that board view is only useful if the column names are “status” (like a typical kanban) so this would mean I will need to maintain status in two fields now …

Correct, columns = sections. Unfortunately that’s fixed; you can’t choose to have Board columns be anything other than sections (and vice versa on Lists). I don’t recall seeing a request for that to be more flexible, so you might want to create a new post with that suggestion here in the Product Fe…

@Alexis Any word on the progress for this feature request? Just switched to Asana and I’m really surprised this is a two-year old request apparently without progress.

We are new Asana users and can already see the ability to swap view essential, afterall when working across a team we need to adapt to individuals own preferences

Hey Owen! We were switched to over the weekend. In the upper left hand corner there was an added “List” or “Board” option. It took every column in Board view and made the Subject of each column represent the Subject in “List” view.
