Can you try && $TaskType<>'Meeting' (exclude the Sprint part) and lets see if that works.

Problem with business rule (select specific tasks/pick list values)
For our sprint planning sessions, I have created a business rule that sets the start date and due dates of tasks added to the sprint to be set manually as the same start and due dates of the parent item. It has been working well so far.
However, I have seen that it may have some ill effects when a task is actually a customer meeting (or other types of tasks to come) which must take place exactly at a specific date.
The evaluation criteria is the following:
Not(IsNull($Milestone)) && $Milestone.MilestoneType='Sprint' && $State<>'Completed' && Not(In($TaskType, 'Meeting','Sprint'))
All has been working well for the general rule, except I cannot get the rule not to run on tasks of specific types (section in bold). Does anyone have any hints?
BTW, we use a custom action that adds a task in the sprint an creates an shortcut in its original place.

I have already tried this. This works. I need to create a rule where several of the Task Types should not trigger the it.

Try && $TaskType<>'Meeting' && $TaskType<>'Sprint'
It's not elegant but I want to see if it works for you.

It does, thanks. Now, is there a more elegant way of coding this (as I tried to create above)? :-)

Lets try using the Case() function: $TaskType <> Case('Meeting','Sprint')
You can use commas to add more values in there. I think this may be the best solution.
