Is there a way to set up a startup date with a moving rule for a task? If not, I hope it gets implemented, it could be really useful when you move a task from an task generated by a Form to a Board where you already asign the task to a team member.

Hi everybody. I was searching for a solution to this problem, and with the new rule creator and I think I found it, please someone correct me if I got it wrong. Objective: To set a start date base on the date a task is moved to a section (in this example, “In Progress”) Rule: When: Task is moved…
