The recently added [Rule ⚡ ‘Set task title’](https://forum.asana.com/t/introducing-new-actions-in-rules/601312) is great, but it could perhaps do with a few more variables such as ‘Section’ name.

I agree!

And add some more text functions to make it really good 😉

Hi all, and thanks for advocating for this feature!

I’m happy to announce that you can now use project and section information as variables in your automation rules! This feature allows you to create more dynamic and contextual automations that reference the project or section a task belongs to.

I hope you are excited about this update! 🚀
