I would like to have direct links from Asana tasks to our issue tracking system but making creating them easy. The way I envisioned it would be to create an integer custom field and find a way to customize/decorate it so that when the user clicks on it he can immediately open the referenced issue.

For instance, if the field value should be 12345, the auto generated link would be https://www.myissuetracking.com/issue/12345.

Is this doable?

This would be super cool! Unfortunately, this level of UI modification isn't possible yet.

One thing that you could do is put something in the task description or (even better) a comment (since comments are immutable except for deletion), something like "Link to https://www.myissuetracking.com/issue/12345" based on the value of the custom field with the id value. If what lands in a comment "looks like" a url, we'll parse it and create the link in Asana.

  • This could work for now. I think a smart description change would be better so that if the number in the custom field changes there would be room for updating the link. But still, not as practical as a link directly from the task list. :) – Chuim Apr 07 '17 at 01:12
