Briefly describe (1-2 sentences) the Bug you’re experiencing: I have a rule in Project A that copies tasks added to it to Project X. I have a rule in Project X that assigns tasks added to it to me. I expect that tasks added to Project A are added to project X, and assigned to me. Steps to reproduce: Make the above rules with two projects. It doesn’t seem to trigger other rules in Project X either, such as changing the status of added tasks. It worked yesterday, confusingly. I attached screenshots showing the rules in the two projects and an added task that was not assigned to me despite being added to Project X Browser version: Chrome Version 78.0.3904.70 Upload screenshots below: ![58%20PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/asana/original/3X/9/9/9997b1d5156c237b62ce3edb478302f978ec2b49.png) ![17%20PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/asana/original/3X/c/a/ca565e3c662b1a1e9bc2fbe9540be80db5603afd.png) ![11%20PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/asana/original/3X/d/f/dfea94ffcec0b661d3473b34af6b928bb2482c11.png) ---

Hi @Calum_You and so sorry for the delay in responding to you! I can confirm this is not a bug but currently an expected behaviour as currently Rules can’t trigger other Rules. Sounds like a good opportunity to create a new #productfeedback and get the Community to support this feature request for future updates! ---
