Formula for checkbox column

Thanks!

Hi @GabyC
I hope you're well and safe!
Unfortunately, combining a Column Formula and manual input is impossible.
Here's a possible workaround or workarounds
- Create a so-called helper column where you'd check the children rows with something like =PARENT() with your column name.
Would that work/help?
I hope that helps!
Be safe and have a fantastic week!
Best,

Hi!
This should work but what should I put as the column formula on the "helper active" column?
-
Also my row ID formula stops at 3. Shouldn't it keep going?
=IF(COUNT(CHILDREN(Project@row)) > 0, COUNT(ANCESTORS()) + 1)

Excellent!
Happy to help!
Try something like this.
=PARENT([active?]@row)
