Summary

Introduce a rule that allows tasks and projects to be renamed automatically using a Search and Replace function with Regex support. This feature should work anywhere a text input is given, such as when renaming task titles or creating new tasks or projects. It will help maintain consistent naming, especially for recurring tasks or projects involving versioning, dates, or identifiers.

Example
• Before: “Sprint 22 - Feature: Add Login”
• Rule: Search: “(Sprint \d+)”, Replace with “Release 1.0 - $1”
• After: “Release 1.0 - Sprint 22 - Feature: Add Login”

Hi @Cyrill,

I like the functionality it would give us. I am a bit fearful that regex expressions might be a bit difficult for the average user. Would you have any ideas on how to make it easier? I think that would increase the chances of Asana implementing this.
