Automatically move tasks to another project

Part 1:

Anytime a stakeholder fills in our Asana form, they have to fill in a field to tell us if their task is a priority or not. Priority tasks go to project A.

I want to set up a rule that automatically moves non-priority tasks to project B.

If you want the task to be moved instead of multi-homed make sure you select this option when creating the rule:

Then it works like you explained:

It should then (with a rule) automatically also get added to project A. So at that point, the task is visible in both projects.

To do this you can set up a rule that is triggered by any tasks added to a special section or for tasks that have a special selection for a custom field drop down for example.

Once the task was in project B and got accepted, it got added to project A successfully. However, the rule to move non-priority tasks to project B got triggered again. So the task disappeared again right away.

To avoid this from happening the trigger for the rule set up in project A might need 2 conditions.
Now in your case you mentioned any task added via the form to project A should be moved to project B. This basically means for the rule trigger if you set it up to all tasks added to this project from form submissions only then it would not be triggered for other tasks.

Can you try this out?
