Delay rules until task creation from templates is complete

I have an issue with creating new tasks from a task template with pre-defined custom fields conflicting with rules triggered when added to project/moved to section.

Expected behaviour:

  1. I create a task from a template.
  2. All task properties including custom fields values are applied as set in the template
  3. rules get triggered (trigger: added to project/moved to section)

Experienced behaviour:

  1. I create a task from a template.
  2. Rules are starting to be triggered right away (trigger: added to project/moved to section)
  3. Populating the task with template properties is ongoing
  4. New rules get triggered (tigger: when custom field (set in task template) ist changed)
  5. result: messy and not intended outcome

I see two problems here:

  1. Rules don’t wait for task creation from templates being completed
  2. Tasks created from task templates aren’t allowed to be placed in specific predefined sections
