I have multiple tasks for each project. Each task is completed by different people. I can choose the "status" to be start, in progress, and completed. The problem is, every time, not only I need to ch...
In your question you describe that the [Status] field can have values "start", "in progress", and "completed". However, your screenshot shows the [Status] column with a value "Not Started". It would be helpful towards finding a solution for your exact problem to clarify the exact field names and values you are working with.
But the essence of you problem is that you need to have a button click in the child Tasks table that results in changing field values in two records which are in some type of natural workflow order. Let me give you a flexible solution that you can adopt to whatever workflow or business logic you have.
In the demo below, click the Reset Tasks button to reset the status of all the child Tasks to "Not Started" and when the page reloads click Manage Completed button on any individual Task to mark it "Completed" and mark the next Task "In Progress".
(1) All sort of extra business logic could be added to deal with out of sequence Task completion or the hiding of buttons or their action on individual child Task records.
(2) I am sure I had more notes but I am rushing to get this up before QuickBase goes down for two hours. I think this maintenance period is for the Cloudflare migration - we shall see. Oops - that is November 4th!
