Will there be the ability to add the new Date or People columns as triggers for custom rules?

Or is there the ability to add a custom field with data/numbers (non-text) as a trigger for a rule?

Welcome to the Asana Community Forum @Patrick_Stoll!

For rules using the date fields you can find an existing product feedback request here for you to vote: [Custom date Field Rules](https://forum.asana.com/t/custom-date-field-rules/191361)

For people field have a look [here](https://forum.asana.com/t/introducing-people-custom-field/187166/63) as it was introduced already in October

I hope that helps!
