Auto complete tasks in a project when project status is set to complete

I’d like to have a rule in my project template that allows for the automatic completion of all tasks in the project when the project’s status is set to complete.
My workflow is to move tasks through the following sections, but not to complete them;
unbegun
pending me
pending third party
pending close

Once the project is complete, all outstanding tasks are completed.
Currently I do this by selecting them all and completing them all.
Then I set the project status to complete.
Having this feature would mean fewer actions on the close of the project.
I run at least 8 projects per month, all of which close on the last day of the month.
So reducing the overhead on the number of actions needed to close the project is an important objective for me.

Hello,
You can set up an automation rule triggered when the project status changes to “Complete” that automatically marks all incomplete tasks as completed. This way, you don’t have to manually complete each task before closing the project, saving you time

Best Regard,

How? As far as I know all triggers are related to tasks or to custom fields in the task. Is there a trigger for project status?
