Project Template assigned tasks show up in My Tasks automatically

@Claire_Vannette, Until there’s a better solution, I use one of these workarounds.

Either:

  • Don’t actually assign tasks in the template itself. Instead use tags with names like “Assign Claire” and then on instantiation of the template, search tasks with the “Assign Claire” tag, multi-select them, assign them to Claire, and remove the tag.

or

  • If you want assignments of template tasks, first multi-select all those to be assigned and add the tag “MOVE TO LATER” in one fell swoop, then select each person’s batch and assign to them. One time only, notify anyone who may get a template assignment and see this tag in their My Tasks to multi-select them, Mark for Later, and remove the tag in one action.

Not ideal, but the best workarounds I know of for now.
