This is a bit of a hack, but I tested it and it works. It will be useful if you have Asana Business or Enterprise until there is a more direct native feature in Asana, I feel.
One time only:
- Make a project called Task Templates and add sections corresponding to each destination project where you’d like to use these common PM and other task templates
- Add one rule for each section with Trigger: Task added to section (this section) and Action: Move to another project (the destination project, and optionally section there)
Add all your common task templates to this project, and continue to add one whenever you think of it.
To instantiate any one of these common task templates in any destination project, just add a task from the chosen task template in this project in the corresponding destination project’s section. Upon addition, the rule “attached” to that section will re-home the task to the destination project.
Hope that works for you,
Larry
