Good Afternoon, I have recently been exploring the external action Sync sub-tasks. I understand this is a recent development. I was hoping that someone had some insight into why the subtasks are duplicating themselves. I have restricted all rules to the basic (Image attached).
I don’t want to see row 2 or 3. I would like to keep these nested in the parent task.
The rule is to run on tasks only and is getting triggered by the section the subtask is in. So I am a bit stuck on how to prevent this from happening. Thank you!
That external action is provided by Project Procs, so you’ll need to contact them for details on how their action is working.
However, what you’re seeing is a standard behavior of Asana subtasks: subtasks are not by default attached to the project of their parent task, but if you do attach a subtask to that project, it displays in the list view twice - once as a subtask and again as if it’s a top-level task.
To avoid having those extra displays (row 2 and 3), you’ll need to detach those subtasks from the project. Alternately, what some people do is make a section of the project called something like “Subtasks - Ignore”, move the extra displayed subtask into that section, and keep the section closed. (The “out of sight, out of mind” approach, so to speak.)
