We can’t act on subtask with rules.

For example, we can add a subtask to another project by the TAB+P shortcut,  
but when I try to add a rule like :

- Task linked to a member
- then add it to another project

It only works with tasks but not with subtasks.

If we can link subtasks in a way, can we also link them with rules please ?

It would be a really nice fix!  
thanks a lot.
