When using Asana task updated trigger all custom fields are contained within the Custom Fields Enum. However I see that there’s a dedicated field for Task Parent but it never has a value. It looks like what I need (to identify the parent of my subtask—by name or id) but it’s just blank. Asana has no insight into the field in Zapier, so wondering if Zapier does… ?

For the Zap trigger: Asana - New Subtask it shows parent info.
For the Zap trigger: Asana - New Task it does not show parent info.
For the Zap trigger: Asana - Updated Task that may only trigger on Tasks (not Subtasks), thus why there is no parent info.

When that field is blank that may indicate the Task is a Task NOT a Subtask, which would have a Task Parent.

That’s fantastic information, and makes a lot of sense. Thank you so much!
