Hi — I’m trying to set up an automation for an Asana workflow where selecting a value in a custom field automatically creates specific subtasks under a designated parent task (ideally using task templates).
Example: A user creates a new task with custom fields. When they choose an option from a dropdown/list field, Asana would automatically add the corresponding subtask(s) to a main parent task. Ideally this could be done using a task template.
This is for marketing deliverables. My goal is to keep everything organized under one “master” parent task so teams can easily find all submissions and shared context in one place. I know I can use sections, but the advantage of this approach is that any team could go into the parent task and see shared information across system teams all in one spot.
Right now, my workaround is to include every possible deliverable as a subtask under the parent task, and teams manually initiate the ones they need. The problem is the subtasks they don’t need still sit there, which makes the parent task cluttered and messy.
I don’t see a way to automate subtask creation based on a custom field selection—am I missing an option or feature that would enable this?
