Guide: Update and Create tasks


Creating a new task

You can use the Create task button to add Asana new tasks.

Once you've added your Asana account, add the Create task button.
Select the Workspace ID and Team ID.
Add a value to the Name of the task (required) and click "Click More" if you want to add more values to your tasks. ​Tips:
Make sure to convert any People columns to emails so Asana can recognize it as inputs.
Project ID is not automatically added when creating a new task, make sure to add it.
Make sure all of the fields have a value or the task will not be created.
For any select lists, make sure the field options in Asana match the same ones in Coda.

Update a new task

You can use the Update task button to update existing Asana tasks.

Once you've added your Asana account, add the Update task button.
Select the task Gid of the task you want to update, if you're using a table like in the example above, you can use =thisrow.Tasks.Gid.
Select the Workspace ID and Team ID.
In the button setting, click "Add more" and select the fields that you want to update. In the value field, select the new value.

Tips:
Make sure none of the tasks were deleted from Asana or it will throw an error. The best to do this is by adding a Tasks sync table from Asana and using those GiD as values (like in the example below).
You can use a Modified() formula in a table to know when a row was update and enable the button.
