Display Sub-task completion on Classic software Kanban cards as on Classic business cards

Anne Saunders

In our classic business projects (where the kanban board settings cannot be edited, or even viewed) there is a component on the board cards which displays the count of completed / open subtasks (In the image below, there are 2 subtasks, and one has been completed).

I'd like this same information to be viewable in a classic software project, but none of the available fields I've added to the kanban card are giving me this component.

I can get a list of the linked subtasks with the "Sub-tasks" field (see image above), but none of the Checklist-related fields are giving me anything remotely like a % of completion, or a count of incomplete vs total sub-tasks...Either would be good.

Hi @Anne Saunders

There is nothing built-in to do this, and you could build it yourself using automation rules.

Define what you mean by "percent complete" or progress
Add a text custom field, such as PercentComplete
Create an automation rule, triggered an adding a sub-task, to update the parent's PercentComplete
Create a second automation rule, triggered on sub-tasks changing status, to update the parent's PercentComplete
Add the custom field to your card for the board

Here is some information and examples of automation rules if you want to try this:

Thanks, Bill. I'll try out the automations you suggested!

Mateus Haubert

@Anne Saunders, did you find a solution for this? Did the automation work? I'm trying to solve the same thing. On business projects you can also expand the subtasks within the card, which is a very nice feature.

I keep getting this curved balls of things you can only have on business or software projects.

Anne Saunders

I ended up not implementing this at the time for a few reasons. We run out of automations before we run out of months most months, so it would have to be done on a project by project basis; I couldn't find a way to make the field compact enough for my taste; and leadership wanted my effort elsewhere.

Based on my automations "expertise" it absolutely should work the way Bill has outlined, I have just given up.
