New My Tasks: trigger based on date AND current section

[Zachary_Goldman]

Hi!

In the new My tasks, how do I set up a rule that does the following:
When due date is 7 days away AND the task is in a particular section, then move to a specific section.

More details:
I have sections for “Today,” “Tomorrow,” “This week,” “Future,” and “Process/Prioritize.”
The rule I’d like to build would move tasks from “Future” to “Process/Prioritize” once their due date is 7 days away.
I do NOT want to move any tasks that I’ve already placed (manually) in the “Today” “Tomorrow”, etc. section. I ONLY want to move tasks from “Future” (not from any other section).

I’m getting stuck on how to restrict the rule to only apply to tasks in “Future” section. I can’t use a trigger for “Task moved to a certain section” since I think this will only trigger if a task is moved into “Future”…I want this to trigger for tasks that are already in “Future” once they are due in 7 days.

Is this possible?

@Zachary_Goldman, I recommend you vote for this request I made:

Add rule trigger: “Task is in section” or “Task is not in section”

Another casualty of My Tasks v2 is that it’s no longer possible to protect tasks in certain sections from being promoted by rules like Due in a day or Due in a week. This used to be easy to do by making custom sections within Today–those were insulated from auto task promotion (In My Tasks v1 only tasks in Upcoming or Today were subject to auto task promotion). Now that ability is lost. And it’s not even possible to adress with Business/Enterprise. My, and many others’, workflows are broken une…

Unless some third-party automation can help now, there’s no Asana solution for this, sadly.

Thanks,
