Task number

[Phil_Seeman]

Hi @Carlos_Rojas and welcome to the forum!

There’s no way to have Asana automatically add a unique task number itself.

There are several solutions that people have developed to add a numeric identifier to a task; you can find them discussed in this thread:

Reference numbers for tasks

When a task is created, is there a reference number in the background that we can not see? We create hundreds of them and it would make life so much easier if I could look them up by an auto populated number. The task line line numbers are nice but the number does not stay if you move the task’s order in that list. Thanks! Erik

Feature Request: Task Numbering

I would like to request a feature that will allow the user to add a custom field for tasks that will auto-populate a unique number (ID). The more we use Asana, with the volume of tasks, the more task numbering becomes a need. This is a feature that I have had in several previous platforms, which allowed us to include a job (task) ID on anything printed, emailed, etc. for easy tracking and fast historical referencing. This would be a huge benefit to users to have this feature.
