Need an advanced workflow such that statues in workflow should represent the percentage value

[Nikhila Pikkili]

Hi team,

Here is the use case and we are using cloud.

There should be a "Percentage Completion " custom field in the view screen and that should fill with respect to the no.of statues in that particular workflow.

Eg. workflow has following status

1. ToDo

2. In-Progress

3. In-Review

4. Done

If the workflow status is in In-Progress then the Percentage Completion should show as 20%completed. If the status is in In-Progress then the custom field should show as 50%completed. If It is Done then it should show as 100%completed.

Could anyone help me out in this!!Thanks in advance!!!

Hi @Aron Gombas _Midori_

Thanks for the update!!

Do we have automation rules which satisfies this condition.

Please let me know if this happens.

Steps:

1. Create a "Progress bar" custom field (either Text type or a choice dropdown with the 4 options you listed)
2. Add an automation rule, that updates the value of "Progress bar" every time when the field "Status" changes. It is literally a if-else logic with the 4 cases.

That's it!

Well, there is no "Progress bar" custom field type, so the representation of this field, won't be nice.

However, the thing you are trying to do is not so complicated. Start from creating a new custom field called "Percentage Completion". Add this field to project, where you want to use it.

The last thing you need to do, is to set up some postfunctions in workflows. With appropriate transitions, set the post function to set a specific value for such a field. It's probably best to use a text field so that you can include the % symbol. More info there:
