This is happening across our team. We all implemented a rule in our individual My Task pages that when the Due Date was approaching, it would move the task to a “Due soon” section. Now when activated, it’s re-assigning whoever’s assigned to a subtask being moved to whoever owns the main task. It se…

Welcome, @Calla_R , FWIW, I just tried to reproduce this and couldn’t; it behaved as expected for me, not changing the subtask’s assignee. I didn’t use “Due date is approaching” but instead “When task is no longer blocked” as my trigger, so it’s not identical to your case, but similar. [image] …

Hi Larry. Yes, I’ve checked the specific rule’s settings and the Runs on subtask toggle is greyed out (see attached) [Screenshot 2026-04-06 at 1.25.45 PM]

this is happening to us as well. It is changing the assignee when something is completed etc. if the rules are the simple “when task is completed move to section” or “when task is due today move to section due today”. this task was originally assigned to me, when i marked it complete it was changed…

@Forum-team , Would it be possible to escalate this? Thanks, Larry

[image] Lindsay_Mancuso: Additionally, the same thing happened overnight with the other rules like this “when task is due today move to section due today/next week”. Hi @Lindsay_Mancuso thanks for flagging this, I know how frustrating it is when My Tasks rules affect items you didn’t intend. …

Something similar is happening to me with tasks, not subtasks. A task is assigned to someone else but a rule in my own My Tasks is reassigning it to me based on the approaching due date and moving it into a section. I checked to make sure none of my “due date is approaching” rules included a reassig…

@Lindsay.M and @Iren_Vilaniso , [image] Lindsay.M: I checked to make sure none of my “due date is approaching” rules included a reassignment condition. You may also need to check the My Tasks rules that have a “Do this” to move the task to another My Tasks section. Asana gets overzealous tryi…

Hi Larry - I did not already have a condition that the tasks are assigned to me because I assumed that if the task was in My Tasks (where the rule is applied) that it would be assigned to me. However, I went to add the condition but Assignee is not an available option. This kind of confirms that it…

@Lindsay.M , You’re right, it’s not possible to specifically check those things. (Sorry, I had replied from memory without testing.) Unless any of the suggestions from @Iren_Vilaniso help, I think you’d need to contact Support: [image] My Task Rules are re-assigning Subtasks …
