Populate custom field with list of projects in Wrike

Hi,

We have a workflow in Wrike that we use to manage purchase requests.  I'd like to create a custom field that I can use to assign the spend to a particular project.  This custom field would need to be automatically contain a list of all the projects in a specific space, and I can then select one.  Is this possible?  If not, does anyone have any workarounds that I can use to achieve a similar thing?

Cheers,

Phil

Hi Phil Taylor is it possibile, but you need to use API or Wrike Integrate to automate the list of the project in custom fields.

Hi Pietro Poli we have Wrike Integrate but I'm only just starting to get to grips with it - could you share some tips on how to achieve what I want within WI?

Thanks!

Sure Phil Taylor

I would divide the flow into these actions:

  1. Retrieve all projects (indicating the space or the specific folder)
  2. Retrieve all options from the custom field (API Custom)
  3. At this point do a foreach loop, and for each project, check if the name is present in the list of point 2.
  4. If project is present, do nothing.
  5. If project is not present, make a custom call to update the custom field by adding the entry.

Maybe can be more simple =)
