Task Title Variable Limited Functionality

In current state, the task title variable has limited functionality when a new task with the task title variable included is being created by a rule.

I currently have a rule that when someone creates a task in a project, a new task is created in a different project with the task title variable included in the task name. After running some testing, if if there is even just a 1-2 second delay in complete the task title that then becomes the task title variable the variable comes back as no value or only a partial title.

It would be great if the task title variable had the ability to update to match the name of the actual task it is representing instead of just being a one time field that populates at creation. In current state, the rule fires incorrectly more often than not when a new task is manual creating rendering the variable obsolete.

Often, one needs to set up rules so that they trigger at a known time, like after a value is set. Sections can be good for this, but it depends on the specific case.

If you’re interested in a workaround, in case your request is not implemented, please provide your use case in detail and screenshots of your full rule.

Thanks,
