We’re using coda as our kanban and it’s amazing. We have a column called “progress” and we would like to know if there is a possible way that making a new card always start with one check so that it could show that it is “open”. Also is it possible to make it impossible to leave it unchecked?
Hi @Alyana_Mae
and welcome to Coda Community!
I assume you have a Status
column (or something very similar). You might simply set the default value to Open
, so that every new entry will be consistent.
Please, let me know if you need further details and in that case, having a copy of your doc (or a sample of it) would really help.
Cheers!
Thank you so much it worked!
It’s me again, is it also possible that if someone tries to make it blank (ie: 0), they cant?
This is a sample of the doc:
Hi @Alyana_Mae,
I just asked for permission to see/edit your doc (you can set it on Share in the top right.
Hi @Alyana_Mae,
In this very specific case, if you… physically wish to avoid any unwanted inconsistency, I’d suggest to go with a slider that allows a minimum value (I provided an example in the sample) or a dropbox.
Maybe not as nice as the scale, but it accomplishes its job if this is a requisite.
Other that that, you can provide visual warnings - such as conditional formatting - in case of incongruent values or (not suggested) automations that sets back default values in case of accidental/voluntary change.
I hope this helps.
Cheers!
Once again thank you so much this helped a lot. Hope you have a good day!
Happy it worked!
have a great day ahead, too and enjoy Coda
Cheers!
