Use Case: Task Moved to Block or in Project -> Assign Due Date or Person
planned
B
Bryce Pendleton
In the Personal Task Tracker template, there are blocks for Today, This Week, This Month, etc. However, each individual task item has to be assigned a due date and a person. I would like to assign the entire project to myself, so that any tasks I add will automatically show up in the My Tasks section. I also want the due date to be set automatically for "Today".

Love this use case — auto-assigning yourself and setting due dates when a task enters a specific block is exactly the kind of friction-free workflow we want to support.
Great news: our Automation system has grown significantly and can now handle precisely this. You can set up triggers like "Task Moved to Project" or "Task Created" and chain them with actions to auto-assign to a specific person and set a due date (including relative dates like "today" or "this week"). The AI-controlled project settings update in v6.31.0 even lets your AI assistant manage assignees and due dates on the fly.
In v6.55.0 we also shipped Conditional Automation Logic — If/Else branching so you can build smart rules like "if moved to Today block, set due date to today and assign to me."
