Use case: When a new project is created, we want the initial project health to be a green symbol. The Change Cell Value workflow does not include Symbol type columns, only text/number, single select drop downs, and checkbox columns. Can we include Symbol columns in this workflow as an enhancement?
Yes this is a great idea!
+1 for this!
Missing this capability seems like an oversight when automation to set a cell value was implemented. Please add the ability to set a Symbol value in workflow automation.
The workflow I'd like to implement is exactly as @Frank Falco described in his post Change Cell Value Automation - flag or symbols in 2021. Specifically, I would like to have two fields -- Health and Status. Health is a symbol value (e.g., red/yellow/green/blue circle) and Status is a dropdown text value (e.g., To Do, In Progress, Done). I would like to manually set Health and Status values and define an automated workflow to set the Health value to blue when Status changes to Done. This automation is currently not possible.
Allow Workflow Automations for SymbolsÂ
Our team uses symbols to track the review process of form submissions. I would love an automated workflow to set progress bars and Harvey Balls at zero when the row is created.
