We would love to ability to have a simple “if text contains” formula that could update a status column. For instance: if a text contains “ABC” then update status to “ABC”. This would help us use the color-coding that the status column offers to keep better track of our tasks. I realize this is a pretty simple feature request, but it would help us in many of our processes, especially as our boards grow and we rely more heavily on at-a-glance views of our boards.

Hi everyone! We know many of you have been eagerly awaiting an update here, and we really appreciate your patience on this. I’m excited to share where things stand with formula column support in automations and workflows.
What’s live now:
- You can now use formula column values as dynamic text in automation actions like Notify, Send Email, and Create Update. This means calculated values can now be part of your automated communication and updates.
What’s still on the way:
- Formula columns can’t yet be used in triggers or conditions.
- Support for mapping actions (like “Create item”) and expanded functionality in workflows is coming soon (more details to come).
- We’re also exploring support for formulas in triggers and Mirror columns, this is still in the early research stage.
Thank you again for sticking with us, we’re truly grateful for your feedback and continued support, and will continue to work on giving timely updates. Your feedback plays a huge role in helping us build the features you care about most.
