Update Section

Renames an existing section in an Asana project. Use it to keep section names in sync as a project moves through different stages.

What It Does

Changes the name of the section you specify to the new name you provide.

When To Use It

Use this when a workflow needs to relabel a section automatically, such as renaming a "Sprint 12" section to "Sprint 13" when a new sprint starts. If you need to create a brand new section instead, use Create Section.

Configuration

Configure the node with these settings:

Field	What it controls
Section ID	The GID of the section to update. Required.
Name	The new name for the section. Required.

Outputs

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

Variable	Type	Example
`sectionId`	`string`	`{{nodeId.sectionId}}`
`oldName`	`string`	`{{nodeId.oldName}}`
`newName`	`string`	`{{nodeId.newName}}`
`success`	`boolean`	`{{nodeId.success}}`

Example Workflow

When a new sprint starts, a workflow uses Update Section to rename the current sprint section to reflect the new sprint number.

Create Section
Delete Section
Add Task to Section
