Automation rules can now be added directly to task templates. In the past, it was only possible to add automation rules to task templates that belong to a specific change or project template.
Being able to include automation rules in the link between a task template and a change or project template is still useful, because it allows different automation rules to be defined for a task template depending on which change or project template it is a part of. But in many cases, the automation rules for a task template need to be exactly the same regardless of the change or project template that it is linked to. So now automation rules can be related directly to a task template to ensure that these rules are applied no matter which change or project template was used to generate a new task based on the task template.
To add an automation rule to a change or project task template, open it in View mode and select the ‘Automation Rules…’ option from the Actions menu.
