So we don’t leave things until the last minute, could we add a reminder field, or set an notification within Asana / email to inbox to remind X days before the task is due? Nothing like a task being due and only just remembering on the day but not having the time or capacity to do it.

Welcome to the Asana Community Forum @anon642827 👋

You can already achieve this now with the help of rules.

Here is an example:  
As rule trigger you can have “Due date is approaching”

Then select your preferred upcoming due date

And as trigger you can have a comment posted for example.

You can customize this trigger to also tag people directly, such as the task creator, assignee, etc
