Creating a new task on another project when new task has been created but not to mirror the fields

[Tomotaka_Motoyoshi]

Hello,

I would like to ask if there’s a way to automatically add a new task to another project when creating a new project but not to mirror the fields and just copy what’s in the ‘Description’.

Ideal Steps

1. Create new tasks X via Forms to Project A
   => All response will be copied to ‘Description’
2. Task X is created on Project A with field template of Project A
3. Then automatically create new Task Y on Project B with field template of Project B but to copy Description from Task X

I have tried ‘Customize’ > ‘Rules’ > ‘Add rule’ > `Add to an another project’, but this will create a task on Project B mirrored all the fields from Project A’s task.
I would like to just create new task on project B and copy description.

Apologies for my horrible explanation…

Thanks,
Moto

Hi @Tomotaka_Motoyoshi and welcome on the forum

Thanks for this advanced question

If you really need those 2 tasks to be different, you could try a series of rules like that:

Rule 1 : Each time a Task X is added to Project A, then create Task Y in Project B.
And Task Y should contain description of task X as description

Remark: Description Variable can be added via the “+”, this way :

Rule 2: Remove Task Y from Project A (as this somehow can’t be done directly with first rule)

Tested, it works

But there might be other ways to achieve the same results.
Hope that helps and please let me know if you have questions
