Thanks for the heads up!
Iāve never done this before, but Iām working on onboarding a team that needs it and Iām trying all the different ways and cannot get the dates to shift. If Iām in a project pane that has no sort, it just moves the tasks up and down in the list. If I do it in the project pane that has sort by due date, it just is static and doesnāt change (either in order or due date).
It stopped working for me too. Just a week or two ago it worked just fine, but now I canāt get my tasks to shift due dates. Iāve tried it in the project list view and in My tasks view, neither one works.
To confirm the actions taken:
Chenge view > Set sort to: Due date > Select multiple task > hit Ctrl arrow down/up > nothing happens.
Otherwise when moving tasks around in an unsorted view the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+arrows up/down works just fine. Iām using Chrome app to access Asana in a Linux OS. In Firefox browser it doesnāt work either.
This is happening now for me too!
Why would this feature be removed? It was one of the most helpful features. Is it a paid feature now?
@Josh_Baker and all - the good news is, this hasnāt been removed. This is a bug that weāre aware of and our team is working to resolve it.
Is it solved yet? Itās such an important and useful shortcut. Thanks!
Should be resolved soon!
Hi all,
It is working for me today!
Thanks
Martin
Yep, it works again. Thanks!
Great! Thanks so much!!!
Super! Glad to know youāve seen the updates! Our engineers will be happy to know youāre happy with this.
Hi Alexis - I am following the instructions for how to shift multiple due dates in a list and it is not working. Do I push the up down buttons on my keyboard? (that is what I have been doing and it has not worked)
How do I get these dates to shift?
Hi @Ian_Wallace,
you have to push ctrl+up/down arrow for this to work, at least at PC. And donāt forget to change your view to Sort by Due date.
It works also with shift+ctrl+up/down, but thatās unnecessary.

Do you know if I can do this with Subtasks too (move due dates)? It would be extremely helpful
Hi @pedro_prada! Yes, you can select several tasks using the multi-select feature (Task actions: create, move, duplicate, and more | Product guide ā¢ Asana Product Guide) and then change all their due dates at once using the Tab+D shortcut (Keyboard shortcuts in Asana | Product guide ā¢ Asana Product Guide). Hope this helps!
This only works if subtasks are due the same day.
Is there a way to move up or push back subtasksā different due dates in bulk?
Hey @Grace_Li, thereās no way that Iām aware of to do it easily for subtasks. I donāt think this is the best solution, but if youāre needing to do a lot of shifting for subtasks, you could potentially run a search for āonly subtasks in XYZ project(s)ā, then add to them all to the project (multi select, tab+p to add to same project) and then you could move them up/down - once done, remove from project in the same fashion (multi-select, then hit X on the project).
Not ideal, however Iāve done this before for large projects that need everything shifted! =)
Multi-select still doesnāt work for me, in list view, in the main pane, when using click-shift-click, or control-arrow or shift-control-arrow. Drat! Just me?
