I have one project setup to review content from a vendor and the “approved” content has a rule to create a task in a project unique for testing learning content in pilot of our LMS before publishing it.
Question 1: Is there a way to tell Asana to create a my new task in the testing project using the task name from the approved review project?
Example: Leading self is approved in review project. I want the rule in review project to create a new task called Leading self in my testing project.
Question 2: Should I just be building this into one project? And have my workflow add new subtasks based on review and testing - should the learning progress all the way through?
It’s often desirable to keep all info about one object together in a task, potentially with subtasks, so if that’s helpful in your scenario, it would be better not to create a new task but rather multi-home this task to the other project. But that depends on the details of your situation.
Also, may I move this topic out of this private category so 800k+ others can benefit from it?
Thanks for the reply Larry. Yes please move to public.
So when you use the variable “Task Name” it captures the same name of current task? (This is a newer feature that I’m still testing out).
I get the idea of multi-homing, so would you recommend adding a new set of sub tasks as the task is added to the pilot testing project since it has to go through different actions than the review project?
Yes, the triggering task on which the rule has run.
It depends. Subtasks can add challenges for some but if comfortable are often good for detailed workflow steps. But maybe the project could have sections or be grouped by a single-select “Stage” custom field representing the stages of workflow through which the task moves.
