Task Tracker in Node js

[rtalbert (Ryan)]

Hello,

I am looking to create a new type of column for my company. I want to use a high level board to make tasks and in the pulse name include a hashtag like #revenue. Then set up some code that recognizes the hashtag and creates a relationship with every smaller task that has that exact tag in the tags column. I want this so I can see numerically how many smaller tasks are out there related to my big task. So If my big task is make 100k in revenue and I assign work to departments they can use the tag column and mark their smaller tasks with the #revenue tag, which allows me to look at my big tag and see ok 0/11 tasks connected to this one have been completed. As they mark the smaller tasks done my bigger task will update showing a task completed like 1/11…2/11…3/11… and so on. Any idea how to start this?

Thanks,
Ryan

Hey Ryan! Welcome to the community

Right now we do not have an API for creating new columns. However, we are working on a column that will summarize items on another board so stay tuned

I do have a solution for you in the meantime. What are the chances you can use a tags column for the hashtags, create a filtered view on your low-level board that only shows items tagged with #revenue, and then use this filter to see the progress of this “theme”?

Here’s what the filtered view could look like:
