Using Variables in Project Template

Hi everyone!

I could really use some help with Asana. I’ve set up a project template for onboarding new employees, but I’m running into a challenge with task names. Ideally, I’d like to add variables to the task names without using rules, but I can’t quite figure out how.

For example, let’s say I’m onboarding someone named David. The project name would be “David Onboarding,” and I’d want the tasks to reflect that. So instead of a task just saying “Create G-Suite Account,” it would be something like “Create G-Suite Account - David,” so the team knows they’re setting it up for David specifically.

The only workaround I’ve come up with so far is to set up the project template, create rules for each section, and then have a task template with the employee’s name that adds subtasks with the variable. But this feels like a bit of a long and complicated process.

Has anyone found a better or simpler way to do this? I’d really appreciate any suggestions or feedback! Thanks in advance!
