Hi Team,
Is it possible to that the Parent Status can default or change to Delayed only when any 1 of the Child Task row has Delayed status. Is that feasible through Automation WD or formuale.

Yes, its totally possible with a formula. Screenshot is from the Formula Handbook Template. I totally recommend getting a copy of this.

The following should work
=IF(CONTAINS("Delayed", CHILDREN()), "Delayed", IF(CONTAINS("In Progress", CHILDREN()), "In Progress", IF(CONTAINS("Not Started", CHILDREN()), "In Progress", IF(CONTAINS("Complete", CHILDREN()), "Complete", ""))))
