Trigger: When a Task is Moved
planned
narek
One of the triggers should be when a task is moved. If a task is moved from one stage of the board to another, there should be certain actions that can be completed.

This is one of the most requested automation triggers and for good reason — moving a task from one board stage to another is one of the most intentional actions a user takes, and it should be able to kick off downstream actions like notifications, status updates, or next-step assignments.
Our automation engine has expanded a lot: we now have triggers for Task Added, Task Completed, Task Assigned, Due Date Created, and Custom Field Updated. In v6.21 we also cleaned up the trigger reference model and in v6.95 released EVE (our AI automation assistant) with improved trigger discoverability.
A "Task Moved" or "Task Stage Changed" trigger specifically is still in progress. With 35 votes this is clearly a high-priority gap and it is tracked closely by our automations team. Once shipped, you could set up flows like: task moved to "Done" column → notify assignee → create follow-up task. Keep an eye on https://taskade.com/changelog for when this lands — and feel free to describe your exact workflow below so we can prioritize the right outputs!

at the moment, i want to move all my complete task from "doing" block to "done" block.
I have to set up automation in this way
If task completed
Add task in the "done" block
Thus it is not really move but rather add new task on the designated block
The new tasks created, they have all default new format. It doesn't copy from the task which being checked "Complete"
Non of the comments and attachments have been there in new task as well.
