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

[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!
