How this affects Task Automations linked to Milestones
In most cases, the milestone configuration selected on the PO will determine which Task Automations are triggered.
This means that in some cases, Task Automations will not be created based on your milestone configurations. This will occur when a Task Automation that links tasks to a specific milestone exists in your account, and the PO has a milestone configuration that has muted the same milestone.
