Setting up the option to add new tasks in multiple projects containing the same steps

Kristy Schaan Could you apply a rule to projects in a particular folder that triggers on project status change and creates a specific type of subtask? (i.e. for the project status "Create Task 3," the third type of subtask would be created leveraging blueprints and/or custom item types.)

HI Kristy Schaan,
I do something similar by using custom item type task and trigger the creation of a new task based on custom status.
In this way you can create 1 rule for all different project.
Make it sense for you?

Hi Ali, 

Thanks for the suggestion.  I don't think that will work because many of my projects are needing an update to a task or a project status when a subitem changes as opposed to the other way around.  

Hi Pietro, 

I think we are talking about two different things, but let me provide a little additional information. 

I have the following 20 some projects in a folder and they all follow the same steps so the tasks are the same and need the same automation rules.  The tasks are custom item types as well.  I want the completion of task A to result in the creation of Task B but I have to make an individual rule for each task creation as putting the rule in the folder with all the projects results in either the creation of Task B for all the projects when I want to only create it for the project I am working in OR it creates the new task at the bottom of the folder and not in the project I want it to be created in, based on how I word the locations in the rule.  Any thoughts?

Project 1

Task A

Task B

Project 2.

Task A (same title, workflow, process as project 1 has, but related to project 2)

Task B (same title, workflow, process as project 1 has, but related to project 2)

.  

Hi Kristy Schaan,
have you considered using APIs or Wrike Integrate?
With current automations, to create a task within the same project, you need to use subtasks, where you aren't asked to define a specific location.

Here's an alternative you might consider:

1- In the project, you have only 1 task, and you have a status for each task you need to create.
2- Task A is completed.
3- Create task B.

If you had an automation with:

• Trigger: all tasks in the project are completed.
• And if: Project Status: Task A.
• Action 1: move Project Status to Task B.
• Action 2: create a sub-item in project Task B.

You can create a rule to move from Task B to Task C:

• Trigger: all tasks in the project are completed.
• And if: Project Status: Task B.
• Action 1: move Project Status to Task C.
• Action 2: create a sub-item in project Task C.

And so on.

One rule for each task to be created, for infinite projects.

Let me know what you think.
