Count numbers in [brackets] hack is gone. We need it back :)

hi Vladyslav

I think I followed the steps but I cannot get it working. See this video

This is my first time with tampermonkey. Am I doing something wrong?

thanks!

Ya it was working but I think the asanaā€™s css changed because of which the script no longer works. Hey @Vladyslav_Sitalo is it working from your end ? IF no can you please modify the script, itā€™s of great help _/|_ Thanks :slight_smile:

Still works on ā€˜My tasksā€™ page but not on the project pages anymore it would seem.
Iā€™ll take a look when Iā€™d have time (itā€™d be better if you create an Issue on Github for it though).

done :slight_smile:
please let us know when itā€™s done, we can test it for you :stuck_out_tongue:

@prajwal @Jose_Barato Iā€™ve updated the script to match new css and fixed other minor problem that I found (counter behaving incorrectly on task completion in ā€˜My Tasksā€™ view.

perfect works now!
thank you so much :slight_smile:
kudos

I also am very disappointed in the removal of the bracket counting. Honestly, if the same feature exactly was available in premium it would be worth paying for for my organization. However, the custom fields use a different workflow that is incompatible with our use case. We have the same pain points that Alex3 describes here: Loss of summing numbers in brackets [1] in task titles - #3 by Alex3. Clicking into every tasks details to enter the time estimate is too click heavy and time consuming. Thanks Vladyslav for the script! I tested your new fix the same day you posted it, and it worked fine. It no longer works today. That leads me to believe that the Asana development team is following your fixes and making changes to ensure they donā€™t work as soon as you make the fix. Shame on you Asana. Your users want the workflow the old feature enabled. We understand you need a sustainable business model through paid features, but removing useful free features and replacing them with less usable paid features is not the way to win more paying customers.

Customs fields used to be an option but now that you cannot select more than 50 tasks, how can you get the sum of a custom number field of more than 50 tasks?

I want it back too. Literally joined forum for this request alone.

Wanted to add a bump to this as well - would love to see it come back.

I made the old functionality into a chrome extension. You can find it here.

or if you want to see the GitHub itā€™s here:

I agreeā€¦the issue is really for anyone who canā€™t justify the cost of premium and the features reduction. I donā€™t use ASANA with a team, so while Iā€™d buy a premium membership, I wonā€™t buy 5 of them for the purpose of 1 user. Itā€™s REALLY annoying that it is not offered at some lower cost even if itā€™s increased on a per user basis.

When the companyā€™s reply to a community frustration is ā€œbuy premium,ā€ premium should be approachable for all potential users.

Just want to add that I installed this extension but it hasnā€™t been updated so it doesnā€™t work anymore with Asana.

Hi
Weā€™re are on sn Enterprise plan, but are still lacking the ability to sum up hours for all tasks in a project.

I have also proposed the idea of calculating project progress based on the hour estimate for each task in the project to give the progress bar in the Portfolio-view a more realistic status. Now every task ā€˜weighsā€™ the same in the progress count. All I get from support is the same BS autoreply about forwarding it to the product developersā€¦
