I just discovered that Project Templates 2.0 have some limited features compared the original version.
From my previous experience, asana never introduces a new version that is subpar to the existing feature. so it is highly likely that the project template 2.0 will see some enhancements. As we cannot guarantee this, I would like this feature to be upvoted please, and it is:
When creating a project template, I would like to have the efficiency to use all the features I have within a active project while building. So for instance, if you are building a project template and you have a series of tasks that are identical (or very much similar), it would be helpful to duplicate the task in the set up page. This will speed things up.
The massive problem here is that you are stuck with templates v2, you can’t create V1 anymore in the coming days we’ll probably see a wave of requests like this. We might even have a blackmarket of V1 templates in companies being traded
This is kind of a big issue, I just found out I couldn’t duplicate tasks in a template after deleting a bunch of common ones thinking it would be faster to make the changes I needed in one and then duplicate the tasks again … huge mistake apparently. Is this being worked on?
Hey Christopher,
Welcome to the forum. Sorry you had to experience it this way. I am sure you are aware, but just in case, you can retrieve your deleted tasks in the meantime.
It’s May 2023, and I STILL cannot create duplicated in a template. So I guess the work around is to create a project from the template; make the changes; then make a new template from that?
This Asana work is getting harder and harder, I’m worried my clients are going to want to go back to spreadsheets.
It’s march 2024, and I still cannot duplicate tasks in a template.
How many years does it take Asana to reintroduce a basic feature that was already present years ago?
Starting to think the ridiculous cost of asana may not be worth it (most of our company is ditching it this year because of cost and I was considering keeping it for our team).
Also, why is it not also a basic feature to duplicate an entire section? I have to duplicate each item one by one (outside of the template) otherwise the subtasks don’t carry over.
in the coming days we’ll probably see a wave of requests like this. We might even have a blackmarket of V1 templates in companies being traded
