Hi, I have set up tasks to be created automatically on the deal when the stage changes; I’ve notice the tasks are being created inside the contact instead of the deal.  
Is there anywhere I can fix this?

Hi @AZapata,

Could you share a screenshot of the settings for your “Create task” action in your deal-based workflow?

I’ve noticed the same behavior in the past and was able to resolve it be removing all checkmarks from the associations dropdown. (This is from the settings of the “Create task” action, accessed via the right sidebar that opens when clicking the workflow action.)

Removing all checkmarks did the trick.

Hope this helps!
