I have a main board that links to a task page which lays out all my tasks. When a task is marked as completed i would love for that field on the main board to demonstrate this. either through a color change or a strike through. I can make the color change within the task page but the change is not demonstrated on the main board.
In the below image - some of these tasks are completed and some not so there is no way to tell the priority !
The design of Link to another record-type fields cannot be changed.
What you could do is make the primary field in your [Tasks] table a formula field that looks something like this:
IF({Status} == "Completed", "
", "
") & " " & {Task Name}
That will add a checkbox emoji to the front of tasks that have been completed, and the checkboxes will show up in your {Task} field since the checkbox is part of the linked record’s name.

Thank you so much Kamille!
That is a great suggestion, however it is not responding correctly. It is giving me the red x on everything.
Can you advise me on how to amend the code?
Thank you!

Sorry, I assumed that there would be a Single select-type field where one of the options is “Completed”. You’re using a Checkbox field so it will either have the value of true or no value at all (Completed is not a possible value), which is why every record shows an X. Adjust the formula like so:
IF({Completed}, "", "") & " " & {Name}

Hi Kamille!
That formula works however when I attempt to add it to the primary field it tells me it causes a circular reference.
Thoughts?
Thank you!

I’m assuming you didn’t duplicate {Name} and are trying to overwrite it directly. You’re not trying to replace the {Name} field but add to it. So duplicate {Name} so you don’t lose any data, then turn the original {Name} field into the formula and reference the copy of {Name} instead.
