If you are adding “surely” at the end I think we both know what the answer is 
I think most of what you want you will get, but why is it always “almost nice” is beyond me. It has been almost an year since they launched something and it was “man this is a super clever way of solving a problem no one has solved”. Otherwise boards, timeline, etc. in My Task is super needed, but is not new and does not approach the issue in a new way, as you would expect from Asana. Anyway we are making conclusions based on very little information, we will see.

Hey all! I’m a Product Manager at Asana.
I wanted to give a bit more clarity on these changes.
Definitely! We’re announcing these changes to developers as early as possible so that you aren’t caught off guard. When we’re closer to release, we’ll be letting all users know about the changes, along with resources for how to best use the improved My Tasks.
The work we’re doing now is foundational improvements to pull My Tasks kicking and screaming into modern times It’ll be much easier to build new features on top My Tasks once we’ve made these changes. Improved sections, with “Sort within sections” just like projects have, will make organizing your My Tasks easier even without auto-promotion.
I’m excited to share all of the changes and improvements that are coming to My Tasks but we aren’t quite ready to show it all off! We’ll be announcing these changes in the next few months as we get closer to release.

Completely agree!
I keep my fingers crossed that MyTasks, which I have always presented as magical thanks to the auto-promotion, remains magical in the future … I am not a developer but I will follow this subject carefully to stop selling a dream to my clients, while waiting for the evolutions 
Can you share some stats on how people are using MyTasks? Maybe we are the only ones using MyTasks that way

Will memberships work identically for UTLs like they do now for regular projects?

SO EXCITED!!
This is a much welcomed change! Thank you!!
We’ve considered adding Rules to My Tasks, but we don’t actively have plans to build this in the near term with this migration.
Will there be custom fields? Or fields at all? If so, wouldn’t a fix be to have a field set for Recently Assigned, Today, Upcoming, Later and have that status change on due date or manually?

I’m just an end-user, not a developer, but I read these notes with considerable excitement. Until I saw the bit about ending auto-promotion. Then excitement turned to dread.
I seriously hope this roll-out won’t begin before equivalent functionality is implemented. I can’t imagine I’m the only person for whom My Tasks (and therefore Asana itself) would become completely useless without it.

I completely agree Bastien… this breaks the way I’ve taught hundreds of users to make the most of Asana. However… I’m excited to make use of the new features and adopting the new functionality to reach a similar outcome. Auto promotion saves my headspace daily so hopefully that can be integrated again soon.

Not a fan of removing auto-promotion either. Reminds me of the email notification adjustment that keeps making me forget tasks that have a due date before yesterday. For both, I’d like to learn why the user workflow is broken without a good alternative.

Why do you broke an vital workflow and do not care about it 
?
