Support Dependencies and the ability to multi-home task in "Add Subtasks" Rule

[Christina_Davies]

So glad to see multi-select field support in forms and rules, rules for adding subtasks, and dependencies added to task templates!

I’m hoping the same features that are available in Task Templates can be implemented in rules-created subtasks, namely: dependencies, and the ability to multi-home the subtask in another project.

This will allow us to make full use of forms; when a client submits a request using a form, we will be able to automatically add our workflow as subtasks based on the requirements they select in the Multi-select field. If a client selects “editing” and “translation”, we will be able to automatically add an “edit” subtask and a “translate” subtask, where the translation is blocked until editing is complete. We multi-home our subtasks so that we can track workload for each step.

If this can be implemented, we can have our team’s workflow virtually 100% automated!

With the new added features for creating Rules, it would be great if dependencies were allowed under sub-tasks.

Hey @Mary_Zakko welcome to the Asana Community Forum

Yeah correct currently rules don‘t work on subtasks

Allow Rules for Subtasks

I would request that you would add or allow us to create rules based on subtasks. For example in a project flow - I have a task that contains multiple sub-tasks. This task is connected to my editorial calendar and the due date on the task is based on when it will post, but I would like to create rules for my subtasks. So as I change the status of the task it can automatically change the due dates on the sub-tasks. Right now I have to manually do this and it is quite time-consuming. I could…

For now you will be able to achieve this with Flowsana, have a look here: Subtask Dependencies - #21 by Phil_Seeman

It looks like we can now multi-home a subtask that is created via a Rule! Not sure when this was added. What I mean is, if you create a Rule where the action of that rule is to add subtask(s) to a task, then we can now have each of those subtask(s) also added to other project(s). I’m excited for this, as it’s been a feature of task-templates for a while!

I don’t see anything about dependencies.
