"Tags" not syncing with Google Sheets, but exporting in Excel

Hi all,

My asana tags show up in a Tags column when I conduct an Excel export of the project, but they won’t sync with Google Sheets in their own separate tab. Does anyone know if there is a way to get Tags to sync with Google sheets without an integration app, and without having to create an entirely new field? I’m collecting data from a form, if that context is helpful.

Hi @Nic_Ballou1 , I was not aware of this limitation (@Bastien_Siebman , sounds like something to add to your buts.. :peach: ).

However, since you are using a Form, that means you are on a paid plan, which means you have access to custom fields. I’m curious why you are choosing to use tags rather than a multi-select field, for example?

You will find that tags are also not supported in Dashboards and other Asana features - they should generally be avoided on paid plans. But they are definitely useful for those on a free plan.

Added to Asana, show me your BUTs 🍑 - #59 by Bastien_Siebman, thanks

Hi Richard,

Thanks for your response. We decided to use “Tags” because we identified the need additional context after the form had went live, and I was trying to avoid adding a new field for syncing and data entry purposes, but looks like that’s the easiest fix in the meantime.
