I have created a workflow where when each task is completed, it will create the next task in the process/workflow and allocate it to the next section.
This is how the automation knows when a task in a certain section is completed, to create the next task which will be in the next section.
This works perfectly when the project isn’t a template, however, when I concerted the project into a template, I can’t have new created tasks assigned to a section as when you look at the rule which creates the task in the template, you cant slect a section of that project.
Due to this, you then cant trigger rules based on certain sections from a complete automation point of view.
Is there any suggestions or can the team at Asana look to update this so we can set a section for the task to be placed once created from an automation under the template?
This is based on when any task is added to the project.
What im trying to acheive is a workflow.
Task 1 completed > Creates Task 2 > Task 2 completed > Creates task 3 so on so on.
The way I organised this was that outside of the template is that i created task two in a section and then created a trigger when all tasks in that section are completed, to create task 3 in the next section.
Actually @Daniel_Deryan is right! I never noticed this before, but…
When you use the “Create a task” rule action in a project, you get this, which lets you select the section that the new task will go into:
Here’s the exact same rule action in a project template - no ability to set the section. Actually the core issue is not that the section element is missing, but that the whole “Project” can’t be set when in a template like it can be when in a project:
I should probably move this thread to Product Feedback so it can be voted on as an enhancement request, right?
