Auto-Assign Folder by Workflow Status

It would be awesome for Admins to associate certain Workflows and/or their statuses with specific folders. This would help ensure organizational continuity when a user changes the workflow of a task.

It might also act as a workaround to the feature request noted in this post: https://help.wrike.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/115003636685-Request-Forms-Add-task-to-folder-dropdown?page=1#community_comment_360001727913

Hi Chance! This is actually already possible in Wrike! Just right-click on a folder or project, navigate to the "Change workflow" option, and select the workflow you'd like. There are some limits here based on the default workflow of the parent folder. You can learn more about this here: https://help.wrike.com/hc/en-us/articles/210322785-Custom-Statuses-and-Workflows

No, what we are looking for is for a particular status to automatically move the project/task into a different folder. This would function the same way as the current option for assigning a USER to a status, but for a FOLDER. It is hard to maintain total uniformity in archival and the like when it must be done manually.

Hello Jamie Letzig, welcome to the Community 👋🏻
 
May I ask, whether if you've considered using the Automation Engine? You can create the rule "if the status changes to X then move the task into the X folder".
 
 
Please let me know if this helps, or if you have any questions 🙋🏻‍♀️

@... Thank you for the post.  This is exactly what I need.  I currently don't see it in my list of options and have enterprise admin access.  I will ask around internally to see if I can get access to it.  If you know of more details on how to access this feature, let me know. 

Thank you so much.
