Hi! Asana Admin- please combine these 2 threads for voting!!

Templates for project status updates

We use Asana to work on projects together with customers. Meaning: guest accounts are involved in the project. After each milestone in the project we do a status update. For some status updates we almost use the same text (project kick off, postcare, closing). It should be more efficient to have the possibility to create a template for these kind of updates. Now we need to copy/past from a text file.

+1 vote. Saving Status Update template for Projects and Goals would be extremely helpful!

+1 vote. we want ot have rigor on our team’s status updates, having the ability to save a tempalte that all ahve to follow (watermark or section template) would help us get there for sure!

any update on this? this is more than 2 years old and still a significant pain point for us using status updates across a dozen team members creating multiple projects each and reporting weekly. Easily leads to inconsistent formatting (more so user taking the easy route…) and negatively impacting broader ETL into PowerBI for more in-depth reporting (cannot consistently apply filters or formulas to extract).

Even just allowing update building within a project template would be HUGE, because we do all use a small selection of templates for new projects.

+1 on saving Asana Status Update templates!
Because based on whether a project is “on track” / “at risk” / “blocked” we also want to have different “standard fields” filled out as part of the Status Update.

I would like my team’s project status updates all to be formatted the same way(pic attached). Is there a way to include this as part of a project template or a bundle so that it is automatically included when I hand over the project to one of my program managers? In current state, I am asking them to copy and paste it over and this is leading to a lot of disparity and formatting inconsistencies that I have to change when I pass the updates to our external teams.

@Jeffrey_Marler - unfortunately this is not currently available (I’m sure you know this, but after posting one status update on a project, subsequent updates will default to that “template”). I’ve moved your post to a feedback request thread on the subject; please consider giving it a vote!

Another vote… how many votes are required till action is taken out of curiosity? as this seems to have been going on a while?
