Ability to apply time-based rules to sections (not entire project)

[lpb]

Welcome, @Michelle_Tenuta,

@Andrea_Mayer’s great reply offered two options and I think the first one is the simplest to focus on.

To make a rule only apply to one section, when specifying the trigger, use two triggers by hitting the “+” sign and make sure they all apply, for example, here’s a similar rule I use (my example is different than yours but the same principles apply):

Note the “When all of these triggers happen” at the top.

Also, read the second rule as "Task is in section: “Later”; it doesn’t have to actively be moved there.

@Connor_O_Shea, My answer here addresses your need; basically make your rules more specific by having more than one trigger (use the + sign) to target just what you want and thus avoiding Waiting/Blocked. You may need a few extra rules as a result. Multiple triggers can either 1) all be required, or 2) any one be required. You would want 1) all be required. Hope that helps, Larry

Hope that helps,
