We are looking to do the following:

We are currently using Monday.com for Installation Projects. Some of our items have subitems attached to it. We were able to automate where an if an Item receives a new comment, to change the status to updated. Our board has alot of task on it so its easier to go over with clients and well as daily work to see just items that have been updated recently.

That being said, we are looking for the ability that if an update is added to a subitem the subitems Status changes to the update, and if the subitems status is updated, then change its parent item status to updated. Is this possible?

There is a webhook recipe that calls a webhook when an update is added to a subitem:

You could use this in combination with something like Make to update the status columns.

Yes, it’s possible with automations in Monday.

  1. Set an automation: “When a subitem receives an update, change its status to ‘Updated’.”
  2. Set another automation: “When a subitem’s status changes, update the parent item’s status to ‘Updated’.”

This will sync the status between subitems and parent items automatically.
