I want to duplicate a task to a different project using a rule. For example, when I change a drop down status, I want to duplicate the task to a different project, NOT link the same task to a different project. I want to duplicate the task so that I can change the due date on the newly created task without changing the original due date of the original task. Is there any way to do this?
My issue here could also be solved by allowing for a second due date field, but this also does not seem possible?

Hi Alex. This wouldn’t be possible with Asana rules. However, using Zapier you could create a Zap like this:
Trigger - Task completed in project.
Action - Create new task. You could then specify the new project and due date.
Hope that helps!

Can zapier also make subtasks on that task?
The issue with suggesting zapier, is that they get pretty pricey for a function that should be fully possible in Asana itself.

Just signed up for Business, and finding the Rules sections to be highly lacking as compared to alternative programs, particularly at this price point.

Would love to see the “duplicate task” function addded to rules. Specifically in our Marketing Request process, it would help our forms come to life & assign out to the correct people
