Updated Task in Project in Asana has old data

I’m creating a zap that will update a Google Sheet when the due date is changed on a task in asana.

 

The zap gets the updated task data, compares the due date to the date held in a Google Sheet, then if the due date is different, it updates the Google Sheet.

 

When I go into test by changing a task’s due date in asana, the “Updated Task” trigger fires, but it contains the old due date. Even if I change the date 3 or 4 times, all to unique dates, the due date within the trigger data seems to be stuck on the old due date.

 

Any advice? Why would Asana send old data?

ah thanks Troy, but I should have specified: this isn’t test data within the builder, this is actual live data. I’m seeing the issue in Zap History, after the zap is on in production. Asana seems to be sending over the old due date, even though a change in due date is what triggered the update in the first place

Hi there, @kevinchemidlin! Thanks for reaching out. 

I did some digging and it appears you’re being impacted by a known bug in Asana where the Updated Task in Project trigger is returning old data. 😔 I went ahead and added you to the list of affected users. While I don’t have an ETA for a fix, once it is available we’ll be sure to send you an email and keep this thread updated!

Thanks again and welcome to the Community!
