Tracking Change in Project Custom Fields over time

Hi All,

My team is looking for a way to be able to track changes in a project’s custom fields over time. We have added some custom fields to Projects in a Portfolio. We want to be able to pull what the value of each field was at the time each of the Project’s Project Statuses were created by using Asana’s API. When I look at the Project Statuses on Asana, I can see what the status of the fields were in the past, but I do not see a way to access this data through any of the API endpoints. I understand that we could use web-hooks to provide and store this information, but I was trying to see if anyone knew if there is a way to access this without using the webhook option.

Best,
Jon

Hi,

I don’t believe there is any other way than webhooks or regular polling.

@Bastien_Siebman is correct, those are the only ways to accomplish it.

The only other thing I wonder about is Screenful; I know they track changes in task-level custom fields but I don’t know if they also track changes in project-level custom fields. @SamiLinnanvuo, what say you, does Screenful do this?

Thank you @Phil_Seeman @Bastien_Siebman

@Phil_Seeman @anon9263935 unfortunately Screenful does not support tracking project level custom fields at the moment. However, we do have some plans for adding support so that will become available later this year (but not before Q4 2021).

Hey has there been an update on the Screenful tracking feature? I was looking to implement something similar in an Asana portfolio my team and I are managing

I don’t know how screenful work, but does this update mention support of custom fields in this context?

Notice that you can use any of your custom fields as the unit. By default, the chart uses Tasks , as the unit but you can change it to any of your custom fields from the unit menu. So for example, if you have set work estimates to your cards (e.g. as Story points), you can configure the chart to use those.
