You can see below here that the tasks for FEC Horses is in tomorrow’s section and given priority of Upcomming when the date is 7 days from today.
I have play with the order of the ‘Due date approaching’ trigger sequence and put the ‘Due date set’ trigger at the start and end. (at the start didn’t seem to trigger anything.
I think you need to remove the Due date is set trigger from all of these rules. Then I believe your rules will run properly, but they will only run once per day a little after midnight.
I don’t think you can combine Due date is set (which only runs upon the change) and Due date is approaching (which only runs just after midnight).
@Jo_Flintham FYI if you’re interested, you could also accomplish this with Flowsana as our date-based rules (a) run immediately upon a date change, in addition to running at around midnight, and (b) triggers are treated as “N days or less” meaning you wouldn’t need the multiple triggers to cover every day but instead could have one rule with a trigger of “in 10 days” and another rule with “in 5 days”.
If I remove the due date set, will this apply to due date changes and, would I be able to set another rule for each that would trigger when due date is changed?
As @Phil_Seeman wrote, you have more flexibility with Flowsana, but with Asana natively, in answer to your latest questions:
If you remove Due date set, it won’t apply to due date changes; it just looks at the current date for all tasks assigned to you and with Due dates and evaluates all those
You can set another rule triggered by Due date changed but you wouldn’t want to pair that with Due date is approaching or it won’t trigger
@lpb, is there a way to get the rules in “My Tasks” to refresh more than just once around midnight? so that if I change the due date it slides the task in the correct section that has triggers with due dates approaching XXX within My Tasks
