Questions, answered
What comes across from Asana?
With the direct import: sections as stages, tasks and subtasks, assignees, due dates, every custom field with its colors, comments and attachment links.
Is my Asana token stored?
No. The token is used only for the import and is never saved. You can delete it in Asana afterwards.
Does the import keep syncing?
No. An import creates a new project in JinkoUp; later changes in Asana aren't brought across.
