Specify task type status of newly created tasks using rule execution action.

When creating a new task using a rule execution action, you can select the task type.
It would be useful to also be able to select the status of the newly created task type.

@ka_nishiyama Not sure if you are aware, but you can. Though only as a separate action:

HI @Jan-Rienk
Thank you for your advice.
I was able to achieve my goal using the method you provided.
The results were as follows:

  1. Execute a rule with trigger task A to create task B.
  2. Execute a new task trigger with task B, executing “change task type” and “set task type status to B.”
    However, this requires two rules.

My request is as follows:

  1. Execute a rule with trigger task A to create task B with task type status B. (One rule)
    (I will revise the title and body of this proposal.)

Ah, I misunderstood. Yeah that makes sense.

I would think though that your situation might be an edge case, as I’m not sure how often you’d want to create a new task of a specific task type, and then not use the first status option of that task type.

I think clarifying the sense and need for that would help Asana prioritise accordingly.

It’s very difficult to explain, but
I feel it’s necessary in the following cases:

  1. Execute a rule
  2. Check if “Field=A” , create a new task with status 1
  3. Check if “Field=B” , create a new task with status 2
  4. Check if “Field=C” , create a new task with status 3
