Hey @santi.rolasni - you’re right that the native Progress column currently only calculates 100% based on “Done” statuses, and doesn’t factor in custom statuses or timelines.

While it won’t override the built-in Progress column, you can use Smart Timeline + Duration to trigger automations based on duration, status, or timeline milestones.

For example:

  • Change status automatically when a task reaches its expected end.
  • Send reminders or update columns based on how far along a timeline is.
  • Chain timeline progress between items using dependencies.

It’s a great way to create your own smart workflow logic around progress especially when the default features fall short.
