Remove Custom Field from Project

Removes a custom field's association with a project in Asana. Task data already stored in the field is preserved; only the project link is removed.

What It Does

Detaches the custom field you specify from the project you specify. The field itself, and any values already set on tasks, are not deleted.

When To Use It

Use this when a workflow needs to clean up a project's fields automatically, such as removing a field that was only relevant during a project's setup phase. Because task data is preserved, this is safe to use even if tasks currently have values in the field.

Configuration

Configure the node with these settings:

Field	What it controls
Project ID	The GID of the project to remove the field from. Required.
Custom Field ID	The GID of the custom field to remove. Required.

Outputs

The node passes these values downstream. Check the Outputs tab on the configured node to confirm exact paths.

Variable	Type	Example
`projectId`	`string`	`{{nodeId.projectId}}`
`customFieldId`	`string`	`{{nodeId.customFieldId}}`
`success`	`boolean`	`{{nodeId.success}}`
`message`	`string`	`{{nodeId.message}}`

Example Workflow

Once a client-onboarding project moves past its setup phase, a workflow calls Remove Custom Field from Project to detach the temporary "Onboarding Stage" field that is no longer needed.
