How do I get Checkbox unchecked without loosing it's formula?
I have built a Task Management Sheet (see image)
When ticks "Done", I have trigger a workflow approval to another user.
If "Declined" I want to set the "Done" field to UNCHECKED
To achieve this I put this in the Done Field =IF([Creator Decision]7 = "Declined", 0, 1)
The problem is that when the checkbox get "ticked" the formula gets lost. Is there another way to do this?
Also see short video I explained it here also..

Hi David,
Unfortunately, it's not possible at the moment to keep the formula in a cell when something is changed manually, but it's an excellent idea!
Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment
As a possible workaround, you could:
- Use so-called helper columns that you can check, and then the Done column would update accordingly.
- Use a 3rd party service/integration like Zapier or similar to automate if it should be checked or not
Would any of those options work/help?
I hope that helps!
Be safe and have a fantastic week!
