I would request that you would add or allow us to create rules based on subtasks. For example in a project flow - I have a task that contains multiple sub-tasks. This task is connected to my editorial calendar and the due date on the task is based on when it will post, but I would like to create …

Hi @anon64027379 , welcome to the Asana Community forum :wave:t2: At this time, Rules do not apply to subtasks. This is a popular request in the forum and so we do have an existing thread for this in the #productfeedback category already. I’ve gone ahead and merged your post with the existing one to…

I just have a rule in My Tasks that adds any task assigned to me to a Project called AllTheThings (because I hate the fact that you cannot filter or sort well in the My Tasks view like y…

What I would like to do is, as a piece moves from section to section through a workflow (that beta is awesome btw) have a rule th…

Hi @Aaron_Kishbaugh , FYI Flowsana’s rules can apply to subtasks so you could accomplish what you’re wanting. Feel free to DM me for more info if desired.

I have a task. Let’s call it: “Allow user to login” It has 3 subtasks: “iOS implementation” “Android implementation” “Website implementation” The 3 subtasks also live on another board that has your traditional software dev columns. “Todo” “In progress” “In QA” “Done” The parent task has 3 fi…
