Hi Airtable team,

Hopefully this is a simple one for most of you…


I have a single table (because I use the Org Chart app and it’s restricted to a single table).


Each record




  • has a status field and




  • also has a field to other linked fields in the table and




  • also has a lookup field for the status of linked fields




I would like to:



  • have a field that automatically looks at the status of the linked lookup field

  • determine if at least one of the values = “To do”

  • then set the status of the record in context to “To do”


Any ideas? Thanks in advance Team! Paul

You can have a formula field that computes a new status based on the lookup of the status. However, formula fields cannot change the value of another field.


IF(

    FIND("To do", {lookup of status field} & ""),

    "To do",

    {Original status field}

)

By the way, this is a community forum, and most members are not part of the “Airtable team”. We’re mostly just other people who enjoy using Airtable.

Thanks kuovonne - appreciate the quick reply and guidance - I’ll give it a try today - I love AirTable too :winking_face:
