We are encountering the same problems you mentioned above. There’s another thread about this that I’ve posted in multiple times with the same concerns. I can’t seem to find it right now, but I’m hoping someone else can link to it.

I completely agree with this.
The loss of a unified view is particularly challenging in day-to-day work. When a task spans multiple projects, having to navigate into each one just to piece together its full context disrupts the workflow and introduces unnecessary friction.
I also want to reinforce the point about field duplication — in our case, this is not a viable workaround, as fields are intentionally designed to reflect different scopes and responsibilities.
It would be extremely valuable to restore a consolidated view, or at least provide an aggregated layer for multi-project tasks.

Welcome, @Ana_Freire and @Cátia_Marques, and thanks @Jess_deCsesznak
I’ve merged your posts into an existing topic where you can click the title to scroll to the top and vote by clicking the Vote button (which currently doesn’t say “Vote” but it’s the oval with a count under it).
Thanks,

To Asana Staff,
I’d like to hear some feedback from an Asana team lead as to how you’re listening to your user base here. Clearly the community is asking for you to remove this feature. You have within your power the ability to listen to your users and set this back to the way it was. This is clearly not a “growing pain” - this is a true disruption in efficiency and is clearly unnecessary for your users. What steps is Asana working through to hear what we’re saying, and undo this poorly implemented feature?

I don’t remember my dreams often. And when I do, it’s rare that talk about them because it’s kinda boring.
But over the weekend I dreamt I was looking at a task pane and this was somewhat fixed. All the fields every project had in common were consolidated up at the top.
Now, this is the first and only time in my life I’ve thought about Asana while I’m asleep.
I would very much like to never think about Asana while I’m not working, much less while I’m asleep ever again. That’s weird and it can’t be healthy haha.

Adding my voice to this thread — the new grouped-by-project layout in the task detail pane is a step backwards for our team. When a task lives in multiple projects that share custom fields, those fields now appear duplicated in every project section, creating unnecessary visual clutter and making the pane harder to scan quickly. Also there is always a section for My Tasks so even when the task is only assigned to a single project I still see the custom fields duplicated.
We’d strongly prefer an option to revert to the single merged view, or at minimum a toggle that lets users choose their preferred layout. Please consider giving users control over this — the old behavior was cleaner and more efficient for day-to-day task management.
