I’m able to create a rule that builds a new task and places it in the correct section based on my selection, which works perfectly on its own.

However, when I publish this rule as part of a bundle, the functionality stops working. To achieve the same result, I’ve had to add an extra field to tag the desired section and then create a second rule to read this tag and move the task to the correct section. This workaround nearly doubles the number of rules needed in the bundle and slows down new project creation.

Is there a way to retain the original functionality within a bundle without requiring additional rules?

Can you post a screenshot of your rule (and your bundle)? As long as the sections are included in the bundle, you should be able to use rules to move tasks around. I can’t replicate this issue in my environment.

I am running into the same issue. When I add the rule individually to projects, I can choose which section to add the rule-created task.

In the rule bundle, this is not a possibility.
