Kanban board - Questions

Post by hacked_baked » Tue Dec 10, 2024 6:57 pm

Few questions about the Kanban board:

- How can I order the Status groups. They seem to be in alphabetical order, I want to put them in a different order. (Backlog, Working On It, Completed)
- Is there a way if a task is moved into a specific column, it is automatically marked as completed? Example I move a task from "Working on it" into "Completed", the task should automatically be marked as completed.

For this you need to use the 'Fixed column definitions' section in the 'Kanban Preferences'.

Yes, here's what you need to do:

1. Enable the following app preference:

Code: Select all

Tools > Preferences > Tasks > Attribute Calculations > After completing a task, set its 'Status' to
1.1 And it's companion preference:

Code: Select all

Tools > Preferences > Tasks > Attribute Calculations > Synchronise a task's 'Completion' to changes in its 'Status'
2. In your Kanban fixed column definitions, make sure there is a column matching the value you entered in 1.
