How to automatically post text field values to Discussion thread for a Project

Hi David,

You can create a new Workflow rule on Project items for this. I suppose your field API name is $C_BriefStatus.

Set a name, set Run Time to "Every time a record is created or edited"

Set Evaluation criteria to "Run only when the following conditions are met" with value = "IsChanged($C_BriefStatus)"

Action 1: New item

Run On: Current Object

Type: Post

$Container = CurrentObject()

$Body = GetPreviousValue($C_BriefStatus)

I hope this helps,

Hi Armand,

I finally got around to creating this Workflow rule.  And it does get me very close to what I'm trying to do.  Now, let's say the Brief Status field was "X" and I changed it to "Y", it posts "X" in the Discussion thread and shows up on the News Feed.  However, my goal was to have the post show "Y" if I changed the Brief Status field from "X" to "Y".  What would be the command so that it posts the most recent value for the Brief Status?

Nevermind!  I just realized that all I needed to do was to get rid of the "GetPreviousValue" and the posting now shows the latest value for the Brief Status field.

You rock, Armand!

I misunderstood what you were trying to do, hence the "GetPreviousValue". 

I'm glad you did what you wanted!
