For e.g., if you want projects assigned to a particular user given the highest priority for the tasks, you can set conditions as shown.

In this instance, the rule will check for the project owner. If the project owner is Monica Hemsworth, Associated Team will be marked as User experience, Status will be marked as open, and task Priority will set to high. If the condition doesn't match, the rule will check the next condition and go on till a matching condition is found. The rule will exit after the first matching condition is found without checking the subsequent conditions.

1. A maximum of 20 workflow rules can be created per task layout.
   
2. For tasks in projects created using an existing project template, the workflow rules will not trigger for the Create condition selected in the Execute On field.
