Looking for an automation for when status changes to something then set start date of timeline, and when date column changes value set end date of time line.
You can do that with the Workflow Center. The ‘recipe’ would be ‘When Status changes to X’, then change column value (and select the timeline column)
Hey @rivkam - you might find our new Smart Timeline + Duration app really helpful for managing dates, statuses, reminders, and assignments. It extends the native Timeline and Duration columns in ways that aren’t possible out of the box, all powered through automation, making your workflows way more dynamic and efficient.
Feel free to give it a look, and I’d love to hear your feedback or even walk you through it live if that helps!
