I am trying to move items if inactive for 6 months but I can’t a way because it’s using subitem dates. I have numerous subitems (events) created for items. I have the latest date mirrored to the parent item which all works fine. The issue is, if I try and create and automation (6 months after latest date), automations doesn’t recognise the mirrored column as a date. If I use the subitem date, I believe that it will use all dates and move regardless of activity.
Is there another way of moving the item to an inactive group if nothing has updated in 6 months?
I see the roadlbock here… I am afraid natively it isn’t currently possible to include that mirrored subitem data into the automation recipe… I apologise for the setback here
In order for this to work with our native recipes, you would need to utilise the parent item date column. That said, I am thinking that you could potentially integrate a third-party app such as general caster to cast the subitem value into the parent item… Is this something you’d consider looking into to achieve this?
Thank you for the reply. I have solved the issue by adding a date column in the parent item (inactive date) and then using an automation that changes the date each time a subitem is created, then pushing the date 6 months. This should mean that the inactive date is always 6 months after the last subitem was created (im hoping)
Hi. The inactive date is on the parent item (not subitem). When a new subitem is created, it changes the date (inactive date) on the parent item to today and then pushes it 6 months. So each time I add a new subitem, it will change the date to 6 months from today in the parent item.
