Automation - Controlled Resultant Automation aka Chain Automation

Proposal : Add the ability to add resultant automation rules to a trigger in manner that keeps control and prevents looping

Use Case:

Currently have 2 subtasks (Custom Item Type: SubApproval Task), when they complete, I would like them to

1. Update their direct parent task(Custom Item Type: Approval Task) to Complete

2. As a result of the Part Task (Custom Item Type: Approval Task) status changing to Complete, have it's successor task (Custom Item Type: Scheduling Task) to status "In Process"

3.As a result of the Part Task (Custom Item Type: Approval Task) status changing to Complete, have it's Parent Project (Custom Item Type: Metal Project) to status "Scheduling - In Process"

Application of concept.

I would like to see an option to add "Resultant Automations" (up to three additional item types impacted) to the automation rule screen. (see screen shot below. This would allow the secondary actions and their conditions to be controlled and intentional and should prevent run away automation looping.

Yes, I realize there is currently no way to cascade automation per https://help.wrike.com/hc/en-us/articles/360057941793-Automation-in-Wrike
