Custom fields in My tasks

Modified on Mon, 22 Jul at 7:52 AM

Custom fields are available in My tasks. Custom fields let you add additional data to tasks in your Asana projects, and you can take advantage of this feature in My tasks.

Create a custom field in My tasks in the same way you would add a field to a project. Click Customize in the top-right corner of your My tasks page, then click + Add custom field.

Adding a My tasks custom field to the organization's field library results in the custom field and its values being made visible to anyone in the organization.


Custom fields created in your My tasks are private to your My tasks, unless you deliberately add them to the organization's field library.

If you do not add the custom field to the organization's field library, the custom field and its values cannot be seen by another user, even if they are a task collaborator or the assignee.

Adding a My tasks custom field to the organization's field library will make the custom field and its values visible to anyone in the organization.

Collaborators field in

You can add a collaborators field in My tasks. This field allows you to add and remove collaborators directly from your List view. This is an optional field and can be toggled on and off from the Customize menu on the top right as shown below.

Time tracking field

Time tracking is available on Asana Advanced, Enterprise, and Enterprise+ tiers, as well as legacy tiers Business and Legacy Enterprise.

Asana’s native time tracking feature is supported in projects as well as My tasks. This feature allows you to estimate the time needed to complete a task, as well as record the actual time spent on a task. Learn more about time tracking.
