Move Task Action support moving across projects
planned

No matter what I try, the "Move Task" automation fails, says Task ID not found.
What am I missing? I cannot find any documentation about it.
Task ID is selected in the dropdown field (see image).
Copy of data:

Sorry you ran into this — the "Move Task" automation failing with "Task ID not found" is genuinely frustrating when you're trying to build reliable cross-project workflows.
Good news on the cross-project automation front: in v6.15.0 we shipped Automation Enhancements specifically adding the ability to link related projects in automation fields, and in v5.136.0 we added projectLink support in the find tasks action. These improvements were aimed at exactly the kind of issue you described — automation steps not being able to resolve task IDs across project boundaries.
If you're still hitting this, it's worth testing again with a fresh automation using the current version — the underlying task resolution logic has been significantly improved. Also, v6.95.0 brought clearer descriptions across all automation steps, which should help debug what's happening.
For complex cross-project workflows, Taskade Genesis (https://taskade.com/create) also opens up new ways to orchestrate multi-project operations via agents.
Let us know if the issue persists! https://taskade.com/changelog

Hi there, upon investigation we found that this error occurs when the Task ID obtained from the trigger or previous step is not within the same project as the Move Task's Project field it won't be able to locate the Task.
If the task completed is in the same project as the Move Task's project field, this automation will run without error.
We are agree that this is a UX issue and we could have been more clear about the restrictions of the Move Task action. I'll change this post to a feature request instead to have the Move Task action support moving tasks across projects.
Thank you for your patience
