Custom Field question

[Mark_Hudson]

Hi @Rupert_Bassadone. I don’t think custom fields would solve this problem for you. Custom fields are incredibly useful for tracking and reporting, but when it comes to managing duration and due dates, this was covered brilliantly by @Ulli in a different post:

Planning work for the week

Hi Paul, I think I know what you mean. I can see two solutions: 1.) By using Instagantt (https://www.instagantt.com/) you can define the time you need for a task and not just the completion date. The downside: It’s a third-party service (and not free). 2.) Inside Asana: Use the “repeat” function. Just set the due date on the day you start working on a task, then use “repeat daily” and choose as the last repeat day the actual due date. This is very easily done and it shows in your calendar yo…

I believe Instagantt is free for up to 3 projects. The repeat task function is free, and a stroke of genius.

Hope that helps.
