Automation on Folder Tag
Hello,
As we know that any task can be tagged to a folder or project of choice. So I want to use automate feature in Wrike, such that if a task gets tagged to a folder (e.g. folder 1) then a duplicate of that task is automatically created in another folder (say folder 2). Right now I can't figure out a way to perform this task duplication automation. Please help.
Thanks

Hi Yousaf,
Do you mean you want an actual copy of the task like if task 1 name is "start planning" you want to have a different task named "start planning 2" elsewhere or you want the same task (start planning) in 2 different folders or projects (cross referencing it)?
Hi Eric,
I want exactly the same copy but it should appear as a new task in second folder/project rather than a tagged task. The reason being that automation triggers only when a new task is created, but for tagged tasks - automation doesn't work.
Thanks,
Sajid

WE NEED THIS TOO!
Specifically, we have Unito's Jira sync integration, and we have a one-way sync from Jira to Wrike. I'd prefer NOT to give people access to the sync folder itself, but would like to immediately add any task that is synced into the Wrike sync folder from Jira to another "public" folder to which I can grant access. I have tried using add to location as a trigger, but apparently when something syncs to the location it doesn't register as "added"? I've tried various available triggers, all to no avail. Given that the sync folder ends up in the "shared with me" section after it's created, I've always thought of sync folders as not spaces in which to do the actual work of tracking, but sort of a "hands-off" area. Please disabuse me of that notion if that isn't true.
