The ability to hide Custom Fields applied to a task that don't belong to the project in which the task is being viewed

Our team would like the ability to collapse custom fields when viewing task details. We have several projects where there are a large number of custom fields. We have to scroll a bit to see the description field. We would like the option to collapse these fields so we can focus on the description, subtasks, and comments when reviewing tasks in project meetings and standups.

Hi @Kari_Ankeney,

I’ve merged your post with this thread to highlight Larry’s response and give you a list of options to vote for that have already been requested.

Best,

Jeremy

@Jeremy_Long, thank you for linking the ideas together; however, I do not believe my use case is addressed in any of these posts. You cannot add the Description to the grid view and you also cannot see the task comments in that view - these required us to have the Task Detail window open. I would still like to have Asana consider adding this capability to collapse the fields. Even a manual click would be better than now if we cannot setup some sort of default expand/collapse.

@Kari_Ankeney, I see. I have separated the request, be sure to scroll to the top to vote.

@Kari_Ankeney,

This feature is in development. See:

I’ve merged your post into an existing topic where you can click the title to scroll to the top and vote by clicking the Vote button.

Thanks,

Hi - is there any way at all to roll this back by project?

The change has been implemented on our instance and it is not conducive at all for how my team works. We add the custom tags because we WANT that meta data shown - now it’s all hidden across 3-4 collapsed projects. Before we had a simple list of tags easily accessible with no duplicates. Now it’s unclear where certain tags live and certain tags are needlessly duplicated across nested project lists. (The same tags are on different boards because they trigger automations, so consolidation isn’t an option.) This change is causing much unneeded confusion for my team who now don’t know where to find the info they need.
