This is for SUBITEMS:
What am I missing in automations? If I set up dependencies properly, I would think that I could automate updating a status. Eg. when someone marks a status as done, the next task–the ones dependent on the completed task–should update automatically to “Ready to Go”.
If I understand correctly, you are looking for the following automation:
In the automation centre under dependencies you will find the following dependency: "When a status changes to something, change the status of its dependency to something.
With this, you can ensure that when a subitem is marked as completed, all subitems that depend on it automatically change to “Ready to Go”.
I hope this solves your problem.
Otherwise just write again.
Thanks much Matthias! How do I find the “change the subitem status of its dependency…”? Selecting “add a new subitem column” doesn’t offer anything except a status selection…
I’m a new user and I have the same question Liz had. I think I’m doing this correctly but I’m obviously not. Based on the automation, once subitem 3 test A is set to Done, 3 test B should automatically set to Ready! But it doesn’t happen. I think I’m missing something obvious?
I would try to reset the dependencies.
Then reset the automation.
And then try it again.
Under “Automations Activity” you can the see, if the automation was triggered.
