I am trying build a conditional switch if the status of the project-task is not ‘Active’ then Activate it via <Action: Transition>.

However, my I cannot seems to get the right value for [Task.Status]. I tried using ‘A’ and ‘Active’ but neither seems to be working.

 

any suggestion would be greatly appreciated! thank you!

 

 

 

 

Possible Value for Project-Task Status:

D = In Planning
A = Active
C = Canceled
F = Completed

Hello @totochow ,

When I want to set the status of tasks to active, I use this scenario:

@Laura02 

thanks Laura, however have a list of 37K of project tasks with a mix of different statuses.

so I was hoping my import scenario can detect each status of the tasks, only when it is not active, it will change the status.

Thank you @totochow 

I understand what was shown/asked.  Your active Import line shown above says (loosely translated to regular English from If statement): update task to active where status is not Active.

Your stated question was: I am trying build a conditional switch if the status of the project-task is not ‘Active’ then Activate it via <Action: Transition>.

You correctly listed all available Status values.

 

Therefore I showed the most simple solution for setting all tasks in your list to Active . Maybe you can restate what exactly you your question is?

 

Thank you, again.

Oh! I get it now, my apologies, I didn’t know you can just change the Status, without using Action. I will give that a try!
