Update Viewing Privileges to Custom Columns

[Becca_Antoine]

I’ve given my supervisor access to view my tasks and have gone through all the steps to allow them access to my custom “status” column so they can easily see the status of everything I’m working on. However, it’s not viewing for them because my future 100s of tasks don’t have a status. Since I’ve given them the permissions, can we please allow custom columns to be seen, even if there isn’t data for each task? This feels like an oversight. I’m not going to add another option for my status column to say “Not Started” just to solve this issue, and take the time to apply it to 100s of tasks as a workaround. Would appreciate this fixed.

Welcome, @Becca_Antoine,

Is there any chance your request is the same as this one?

Custom fields on other member's task lists should be visible

It would be greatly helpful for team workflow processes to see the custom fields on team members’ task lists. For example, we have a company-wide custom field called “Status” that we add to tasks so we know whether a project is in progress and what stage it is in. At the moment, if I view my team members’ task lists, I can’t see a quick view of how each project is doing. It would be helpful if we can view the custom fields on others’ task lists. Asana help said this when I asked if there’s a wa…

I haven’t tested this, but I’d be surprised if the cause of your custom field not being visible is because some tasks don’t have a value for it.

If it’s the same, I can merge these thread.

Thanks,

Larry
