A client was interested in a solution here and here’s what I’ve come up with. I first did a search in the Forum and didn’t find anything better, and some incomplete threads too.
My solution can be tweaked if you want to track differently, but what you see below does the following:
- Adds tasks that experience a date change to a common “Date Changes” project
- Creates a subtask under the task logging the new Due date and the date it was updated. Tallying these gives a count of the number of date changes. The history of Due dates accumulates here, but for the first one, you have to look in the parent task’s activity log. (If you want to report on these, it might help to “tag” these subtasks with their own custom field to allow them to be used in a chart or advanced search.)
- Ignores the initial setting of the Due date
For those with Flowsana.net (@Phil_Seeman), this is easier, I believe, and also allows you to utilize the previous Due date as a variable which native Asana does not.
Thanks,
Larry
