There seems to be a problem with the settings.

When using “Scheduled time occurs…” without specifying a task, it appears that a “Run script” is generated for each task in the project.

After consulting with Copilot, I was able to get it working correctly.

The key points are:  
Scheduled execution  
↓  
Create a task using Asana standard actions  
↓  
Script Action  
↓  
Update the description field with updateTask()

This might be the key point.

It passed the test, so I will leave it running like this for a while.
