Change Status dropdown when task is assigned

JBonaduce

Hello, Smart People

I have a [Status] dropdown which includes Assigned, In Progress, In Review, and Complete. I would like to automatically change that status to Assigned as soon as the [Assigned To] column is not blank. I've found how to change status harvey balls or completion ramps, but not text-based dropdowns. Seems like it should be possible, but I'm stuck. Ideas?

Hi J,

Give this a try:

=IF(ISBLANK([Assigned To]@row) = false, "Assigned", "")

Hi,

Will you need to be able to change the Status manually as well?

If yes, you’d need to use a third-party service like Zapier or similar. Is that an option?

I hope that helps!

Have a fantastic week!

Best,
