Lack of dynamic project role assignment in automation rules
Users are unable to dynamically assign project roles when projects are created via rules or task conversion. Current automation requires hard-coding specific assignees, making it impossible to assign tasks to a role (e.g., 'Project Manager') that varies from project to project.

Until it can dynamically pull the values from fields in the originating task, this only works with rules where the same people take the same roles every time
Would be nice to be able to automate to say “Assign to the person with role of “legal approver” in this project” as opposed to 1 specific human
this requires that you edit the Rule each time if the Assignee is to be different each time the Rule is run
When using the updated template with roles added, there is no prompt when creating the new board to assign roles
