Inconsistent date display and lack of relative date rules
Users are frustrated that Asana often displays dates as weekdays instead of actual dates, forcing them to cross-reference external calendars. Additionally, the lack of relative date tokens in rules and filters leads to operational errors and inefficient planning.

When I see a relative date I have to check a different calendar to get the DATE of that date and THIS IS ABSURD.
My tasks tells me that the training is … Friday. Now I have to lookup which of the two dates is Friday.
This inconsistency forces me to either remember which date corresponds to a specific weekday or keep a calendar open beside me.
not having this causes errors to be made. When you mark a task complete, it creates another with a future date. Since you don’t have a rule to move that out of the way sometimes you get confused
If a task has a due date x days from today, move it to a section is a simple rule to be able to create.
