I have a board set up with groups which represent the phases that ALL the items need to go through to complete a workflow.
Is there the ability to change status of an item (regardless of the group it’s within) and make it move down to the next group/phase?
¡Hello Cory! How are you doing?
You can create automations that link each status change to a different group. I show you how it could look like below.
Thanks Jose!
I’m actually curious about the ability to create one automation that pushes items ‘down’ to different groups based on status being complete.
ie:
Group 1:
item a - status=open
item b - status =open
item c - status (open to ready) now item c would move down to group 2
Group 2:
item d - status=open
item e - status =open
item f - status (open to ready) now item f would move down to group 3
**This would remove the need to create an automation for every status and or group name and would apply a general rule for items to move down groups (for process based workflows) when status changes.
Hello Cory! Oh I understand now.
Unfortunately it seems to me that it is not possible with the native tools currently, the only viable option I see is as I said, create a state for each group, and that is the trigger for your workflow.
I hope this is of some use to you and if not, hopefully another partner can provide a workaround to this.
Agreed. Your solution does work for flow but not in regards to reducing the amount of automations needed to accomplish said function.
Thanks for your reply
