Is there a way to have a rule create a sub task then name that sub task based on the parent task? I do see the variable field but when I choose “Task Name” variable, it just makes the task name “”.
I want to create a sub task to tasks when their dates are changed as there is a process we do every time this happens. I want to eliminate the project manager having to reach out to me directly every time they want to change a date. Rather just get a list of sub tasks I can complete myself.
Or can someone suggest a better what to track date changes (besides going into every task within every project individually manually tracking it)?
This should not happen as the variable always pulls over the task name.
Now one thing I recommend to check is the trigger. Because let’s say for example if the trigger is “new task added” and you are creating a task and still updating that the rule might already fire and create the subtasks.
I have tested this and yes if you do not have the task name added yet, but the rule already run then it would add “[no value]”
Can you maybe share some more info about your current set up such as screenshots (blur personal info)
Your idea of subtasks is definitely a great one. Another good solution was shared here
