Creating new tasks with a template for Description

I can see similar related posts but having reviewed several none cover what I need.

I have 2 projects, Project A and Project B

Project A contains all the general activity tasks of the workstream and I have added a new section for requirements called “Business Requirements”. Project B is going to be used as a way to centralise the requirements tasks from Project A (and other future projects).

Project A has a rule under the Business Requirements section to rename the task when created and add it to Project B

I want tasks created under this Business Requirements section to use a specific template and custom fields

I don’t want any other tasks created in Project A to use the same template or custom fields as the Business Requirements section.

Project B contains all the custom fields and a new task type and a task template (that contains some bespoke content for the description)

I have succeeded in creating a task in Project A, some rules run to update title etc and once updated my custom fields from Project B appear in the task in Project A and all is good apart from the description content. I cannot find a way to get this to work! Why does the Task Type not pick up the template sat under it?

If I manually create the task in Project B it works fine but this isn’t what I want!

Can anyone help with getting the templated description content into my task without all the other things breaking!?

@Ian_Layton-Smith One thing you could do is, in your rule under Do this add the action Set task description to. Then paste your description from the template into the description field in the rule.

many thanks @Ron_Sanga that does the job :+1:
