I’m trying to run a manually triggered rule in My Tasks. I’ve already used this rule in the same way on subtasks many times before and it worked perfectly. Unfortunately, it has now stopped showing up on subtasks under Run a rule > My tasks.
When I view the settings in the rule editor, Run on subtasks is now disabled and says “My tasks rules can only apply to tasks, not subtasks.” This is perplexing as I can see many successful runs on subtasks in Rule History.
Anyone else run into this or have any insight into what might have changed or caused this?
Is it possible those subtasks were assigned to you? That would cause them to act as if they were top-level tasks in your My Tasks which would have allowed running a manual rule on them.
I am having this same issue. It’s so frustrating.

Yes, this rule is designed specifically for subtasks assigned to me. Essentially, it’s a rule that copies over the descriptions from a target subtask’s parent task.
As a follow-up though, I simply created a new rule and copied over my script and that one is working. I don’t understand why the new version works when the old one doesn’t.
@Veronica_Rodriguez Maybe that will work for you? (Create a new version of your rule)
I just created a new version of my rule but still see “run on subtasks” grayed out.
I did find that assigning the subtasks to myself allows the rule to work but that also transforms all the subtasks into separate tasks and so instead of having say, 5 tasks in a group/section, I now have 15 because each task has 3 subtasks.
