How to set up Status Triggers

Use Status Triggers to make sure that you and your team members populate certain list-specific fields when list entries move into a certain status.

1. Click List Options, then click Triggers.
   
   
   
2. Click the Status Triggers tab, then click Create New Trigger.
   
   
   
3. Based on the default "Status" field, select the status option that will trigger the required fields.
4. Finally, select which list-specific fields will become the required fields (see What are Global Fields vs List Fields?). Currently, global fields are not available as required fields for status triggers.
   
   

Who can create/edit status triggers?

Only the list owner and list admins will be able to implement status triggers for that particular list. To become a list admin, click the Share button to see who the list owner is and ask them accordingly.

Note: Taking these specific actions will not activate Status Triggers:

1. Status changes via data imports
2. Status changes within the Affinity mobile app
3. Status changes within the Affinity Outlook add-in
4. Status changes via adding entities to other lists via the Lists column (specifically if you have a status trigger set for the very first status option)
