Adding conditional subprojects into a specific subproject using request forms
I am using request forms to create a project with a number of subprojects.
I want to add a conditional sub project that will live in a specific sub project yet to be created by the template I am using. Sounds a bit confusing but this the structure below.
Main Project
-sub-project 1
-sub-project 2
- sub-project 2a
- sub-project 2b
-sub-project 3
The template creates the main project, and subprojects 1, 2 and 3.
I would like - sub-project 2a to be created specifically inside -sub-project 2 when a certain answer is selected on a multiselect question, say question 5 on the request form, and - sub-project 2b to be created inside sub-project 2 when a certain answer is selected on a multiselect question, say question 7 on the request form.
Hi Nana Agyekum Bannor,
as far as I know you won't be able to do this with current forms and automations.
I did something similar via Wrike Integrate, after creating the Main project, I run a check on the populated fields, and based on the selections I identify the "sub-project" and have the "sub-project 2a" created inside it.
What if you had 4 blueprint versions of subproject 2:
- sub-project 2a
- sub-project 2b
- sub-project 2b
- sub-project 2a
Then, based on the answer to the question, you selected one of the four blueprints for subproject creation? You would probably have to use a single-select question with this method though, so not sure if that would work for you.
Good idea Ali Moses
Ali Moses That's how we did it.
You can simplify it further by cross-tagging common tasks into both projects (maybe that's what you are saying, and I'm not understanding).
Then subprojects 1 and 3 are cross-tagged into both blueprints.
Using this method, you have to be creative on your request form. Question 2 splits into 2 different pages, then question 4 splits again, eventually getting to a single question that will pick the blueprint that has all the required projects.
Pietro Poli - That's how you did it. You and I were working on this same issue about a year ago.
Yes Mike Fank,
we can schedule a call to show each other what we have done =)
I was going to say the smae thing as Ali Moses that is how I've set things up. It means a lot of CIT's and Blueprints but just make sure to label everything and to remove CIT's and Blueprints that aren't needed to keep everything clean and orderly.
