How to prevent rule that creates subtasks from running on the subtasks created

My apologies for the confusing title on this one! My goal is to have start date, end date and mid-point subtask reminders auto-populate for a task once I have assigned it to a designer.

The current work-flow I created is as follows:

  1. Task is created and start/end dates are added.
  2. Task is assigned to designer
  3. Rule 1 runs:
    1. When Task is Assigned (Assignee is Changed) > Create Subtask “Remove Promo” using Variable Assignee with a due date that equals the current End Date value

While this rule is running correctly for the task once assigned, it is also then running again for the subtask it creates (and additional subtasks also created via rule within the same task).

I’m sure there is something wildly obvious I am missing on this, but any help would be appreciated :slight_smile:

Welcome, @Kayla_Watson,

Have you tried clicking the gear icon for the rule (shown at top right in your screenshot) and toggling off “Run on subtasks”?:

Thanks,

Larry
