The idea is that if data is being added from a completed form, you can create a rule that allows the user to handle that item differently then you would otherwise (if a task was added manually from within the project).
For instance, if you have a Rule setup to have new tasks moved to a specific section, that might not be expected behavior when items are being added manually. You might not want to temporarily disable the Rule because at the same time users may be submitting items through the form. If Asana is able to distinguish how an item is being added, I could see this added functionality being really beneficial while also enhancing the workflow.
Thanks for creating this request @LEGGO! I see we have another thread in the #productfeedback category so I’ve gone ahead and merged all posts to centralize feedback!
This is now possible by specifying if the task comes from a form or not then you can do a specific rule for form submissions as opposed to manual @LEGGO
