Add Author As Assignee in Blueprint
Kelly St Cyr
Hey,
I think a really handy feature for Blueprints would be the ability to add the "author" as the assignee. Right now, we’re using automations as a workaround because the author is usually the project owner (and also the stakeholder/SME), so they need to be involved in several key steps throughout the project.
How do you all manage adding the author or SME to the necessary tasks when a new project is created? Would love to hear how others are handling this!
Hey @...!
We created an empty job role called "Requester" and have set up an automation so that when a new task (or project) is created, to:
a) Add author on tasks that have Requester assigned
b) Remove Requester job role
Agree with your point - if it was something that was pre-established and possible in blueprints, or even in request forms, it would make our list of automations a little less chaotic :)
I'm also utilizing automations to assign the author to a projects' tasks. Our workaround is to leave the task unassigned in the blueprint and then the automation is:
Apply rule to: Task
When: new item is created
Condition: Assignee is unassigned
Change assignee to: Item author
Is this similar to the automations you currently have in place?
Anna Giacobbe that is a great workaround. Thank you! I am hoping they can work this into their updates in the near future to make it easier without the need for automations!
