Why does Asana create new tasks when I don't want them?

[Chris_Swift]

Hi,

For some reason, I get tasks pop up in my Asana Tasks list that I either close or complete, remove the owner, remove the deadline, etc. Yet nothing seems to remove it entirely, can you please advise why? I am not sure it’s a bug as it may have a purpose but I just find it annoying as it’s not the sort of project I need to provide regular updates on. I have now archived the project to see if that stops it but technically it’s not completed per se, just want to stop the tasks appearing.

It is on my Asana profile, regardless of App or browser.

Check this:

Consider updating your project progress

Task with that name (Consider updating your project progress) automatically created in My tasks every week. How to disable it?

Hi @Chris_Swift,

These tasks are automatically generated every week if you have the status updates reminder enable; you can easily disable this function following these steps: Asana FAQs and common questions | Product Guide • Asana Product Guide

This doesn’t seem to work for me on my Personal Projects. There is not “Progress View.”

same issue, it’s driving me…how do I disable this? I can’t differentiate my tasks vs. Asana’s tasks. It just looks so smart…

Same here. No Progress View tab at all.

I didn’t have the “Progress View” tab either.

Solution:

1. Under the “What’s the status?” panel in the Overview project tab, click any one of the three status buttons (On Track, At Risk, Off Track).

2. At the top of the next page, toggle “Remind me to update every Friday” off.
