My Tasks rules allow a user to create a rule to automatically move a task from any custom section into a different section when the start date or due date is approaching (auto-promotion). This rule is triggered by the system when the dates change at midnight. This rule does not trigger when the user changes the date themselves.
There is an option to trigger a rule when the start/due date changes. However, a user cannot set criteria based on a variable date (e.g. when the due date is changed, check if the due date is ‘tomorrow’ or ‘within 3 days’, and then move the task to ___ section)–they can only set criteria based on a fixed date.
This would be a very useful feature for users who want to leverage custom sections within My Tasks and conveniently funnel all their upcoming work into accessible sections. Something similar can be done with the “Due Date” or “Start Date” grouping, but custom sections have unique benefits.
Has anyone found an accessible workaround? Does this challenge resonate with anyone?
