Change all subitem statuses if parent item status changes

Hi! Bit of a strange one. I need to have an automation set up where when the parent item’s status changes, all of its subitems statuses change. I know there is an automation where you can do the reverse, but I was wondering if it was possible to do this also. I have access to Make as well so I can set up an automation in there if it is not possible to do in Monday itself. Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi Thomas,

It is really easy with a 3rd-party app called Advanced Formula Booster. All you would need to do is create a formula with this syntax:

2024-05-03_08-42-34

{Sub.Status} is the column placeholder for all sub-items’ status column. {Status} is the placeholder for the item that triggers the formula.

So, once the formula is created, all you need to do is add an automation that reads “When status changes, run the XXX formula”.

Hi,

Thanks for getting back to me! Ideally I want to keep all of my automations within Make / Monday rather than adding another third party app. Is there a way to do it in either of these?
