Yeah, that’s a flaw - you can vote for that quality of life change here.

I think with Asana stressing that having a due date and having a task assigned to someone are significant for success that this needs to be added. They already added “NoOne” to the assigned to search, an equally import would be NoDate. Hope this can be incorporated in the future so reports of past due items inadvertently does not exclude task that are pig…

But as a workaround, may I suggest an advanced search - tasks you’ve created within the past X days? So you can just take a time to go through the list, sorted by due date (so those without due date are at the top) and add due dates? It’s not ideal, but would maybe help =\
