Hello @Jon_Pacitto,

seems there was a similar case earlier this year which got resolved: [Rules assigning users are paused on projects created from templates.](https://forum.asana.com/t/rules-assigning-users-are-paused-on-projects-created-from-templates/173223)

And I have also found this which seems to fit for your case as well if I understood correctly?

> “Our engineering team has reached back out to me regarding your instance, and they confirmed to me that it is of natural behaviour in Asana for the rules within a project template to be paused when applied to a task being converted to a project.  
> We appreciate you taking the time to bring this matter to our attention and how it can be a bother. We completely agree with this and are already working to build out a change in this. You can expect to see this added functionality where the rules won’t pause in the coming in the near future.”
