I’m wondering if anyone else is having issues with ‘sections’ from Asana imported to Coda. I can read the sections in my Asana sections column but they’re light grey and it says ‘the table referenced here cannot be found’. anyone else ?
Hi Lisa, that’s because the Section column is actually a lookup to the Section table. If you pull in the corresponding Section table you the references should work . If it doesn’t, let me know!
Hi Lisa, would love to take a closer look here. Do you mind reaching out to support by emailing support@coda.io and explaining the situation? Then our team can take a closer look and see what’s going on . Feel free to mention that I sent you!
is there a way to have due date as a column option? I see “modified at” but no option for due date. Really messing up my attempts to nicely show asana tasks in timeline view.
@Coda_Zac just curious and not sure if you can share, but do you codans use Asana at work? Just wondering if you see Coda eventually replacing your Asana processes entirely.
Hi Ed, at Coda we try to use Coda for everything! Onboarding, project tracking, workflows, etc. There are some exceptions, like email, but otherwise Coda does indeed run on Coda
Do you have plans to allow text formatting (within Coda) to transfer to Asana when creating tasks? Often it’s helpful to add headers, bold, and/or italicized text within task descriptions. From the testing i’ve done so far this doesn’t seem to be supported.
Hi Max! Not something we’re actively working on, but happy to consider it. Could you elaborate on the broader scenario? Like, are typing up this formatted text in a table, is it for a post-planning process, etc.
Hey Zac, yes we are typing up this formatted text as a Text column in a table.
For certain workflows, we feel like creating Asana tasks entirely through Coda (via buttons and automations) could be cleaner and more organized. The only downside is that we cannot write out task descriptions in the same way we would if we just created them in Asana: With text formatting, bulleted lists, hyperlinked text, etc. The result is a bland task description, which might be fine, but it is less appealing. People who are used to Asana at our organization would see this as a downside to utilizing Coda. Does that make sense?
Hey @chris, specifically the “notes” field which is what we refer to as the Task Description in Asana.
I wouldn’t necessarily expect H1-H3 text to pass over as normal, but Asana just did release Heading 1 and Heading 2 text sizes within the Description so perhaps those could be matched up with Coda headers.
@Max_McEwan - have you tried the “htmlNotes” field instead? The Asana API for whatever reason has separate entry points for raw text “notes” and rich text “htmlNotes” which have been reflected in the pack formula in case there are use cases for the two that are important for users. I’m curious if the other field carries at least some of the rich text content through.
Thanks for the suggestion Chris. When I replace notes with htmlNotes I get an Asana Error dialog box: “the Asana server returned an error while taking an action”.
. If it doesn’t, let me know!
