We run hundreds of tasks which each have around 15 subtasks. The task needs to move to 5 different sections depending on which subtasks have been ticked. There needs to be a way that when you tick certain subtasks the parent task moves to a new section. This has to have been asked before
If you searched the forum you probably would have found similar topic indeed. This comes up pretty often, and yes indeed this is not possible.
There are a few workarounds, for example using number fields on subtasks, rollup fields on parent task, and then triggering a rule based on the value of that rollup field. I can explain more deeply if needed, but needless to say it requires some heavy lifting.
Hi @Lisa_Aroney,
FYI if you have the ability to uniquely identify the subtask(s) that should trigger a move, then you can use a rule in our Flowsana integration to achieve what you want - because our rules have this option:
Hi @Lisa_Aroney, another possible workaround is to create the task with the necessary sub-tasks to complete the first section, then a rule can trigger “if task is in 1st section, and all sub-tasks are complete, then move to next section” and create the additional sub-tasks on the new section, and continue on until you’ve hit the last section.
