Structure conditional formula to ignore items in a folder?

[Dan Giordano]

I am trying to write a conditional formula using IF on a Structure board which has multiple folders on it. 

The conditions of the formula don't really apply to one of the folders, so if I had folders named like "Folder A", "Folder B", and "Folder C" how could I write my IF statement to not apply to Folder A but still apply to the other two folders?

Hello @Dan Giordano 

In this case, you can reference folders by their summaries and exclude those that are not needed to be considered:

if summary = "Folder B" or summary = "Folder C": ...

or:

if summary != "Folder A": ...

The specifics of the formula depend on the hierarchy of your structure and on what you want to achieve as a result.

I hope this helps. If you have more questions about the formula, please reach out to us directly at our support portal.

So, folders can't be excluded as a group, like an issue type?

Sure they can be. The same as a group, folders can be referenced as !issuetype or by their summary. The latter approach allows for more specific customization, especially in structures with multiple folders and groups where you need to exclude only a specific one.
