Limiting tasks (by name) to specific days of the week

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to control specific tasks being allowed to start on only certain days of the week. For instance, a task name containing "A" is not allowed to occur on Mon or Fri, only possible to start/finish on Tue, Wed, or Thu.

Keep in mind, A is a precedent for B, which is a precedent for C. But B and C are not limited to specific days.

Is there a way to set this up with a condition for task names? or another way to go about it?

thank you!

Hi,

Unfortunately, as far as I know, it's not possible at the moment, but it's an excellent idea!

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.

A possible workaround could be to have a message showing if they try to select something that isn't allowed.

Would that work?

Hope that helps!

Have a fantastic week!

Hi Andree, thank you for your prompt response. How does one display a message when a user tries to select something not allowed?

Happy to help!

Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s) or some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@getdone.se)

Hope that helps!

Did you get it working or do you still need help?

Have a fantastic day!

Best,

Restore multiple cell changes from Snapshot
Today a team member accidentally changed several rows by either deleting the data or the row itself. Do I download a snapshot of each one to restore? Some of them didn't seem to be too helpful.
