Currently, rules in Asana are triggered as soon as a task is added to a project, which can lead to unintended rule executions. For example, when a user accidentally creates a new task by clicking on an empty row at the end of a section, it immediately triggers rules—even though the task was not intended. These triggers also count toward the rule limit for the workspace.
It would be highly beneficial to have an option to delay rule triggers until one of the following conditions is met:
-
The task has been edited (e.g., assigned, description added, etc.).
-
A few seconds have passed since the task was created, allowing users to quickly undo or delete tasks created by mistake before any rules are executed.
This feature would help prevent unnecessary rule executions and keep rule quotas more manageable.
