With custom fields we are able to use the 'key' field to show relevant data on other cards across Aha. There are certain standard fields from our ideas portal, such as the Status, that we would like to show on Master Features. This is becasue we have a few different 'Accepted' states in our ideas portal depending on the conditions of the ask. It could be that it is linked to a customer opportunity and pending a PO... it could be that we have recieved a PO therefore it is a firm commitment. By having this status show on the Master Feature it would help us in our planning when looking at the board view. We would quickly be able to see what was committed and what wasn't. As it stands, we will have to create a custom field on the Master Feature to replicate the status of the idea. This is unecessary overhead and has a high risk of error due to mis-matches in the actual status of the idea and the Master Feature being manually updated to reflect it.
Thank you for the idea. The status of this idea was out of date. This is possible today in a couple ways:
Add ideas as a links on the epic in the Related tab. You will then see the idea statuses on the epic.
Create a custom worksheet that pulls statuses for promoted ideas using self.ideas[].status
If you need help to set this up, please contact us at support@aha.io.
Thanks for sharing this idea. We will continue to monitor feedback here, but I wanted to offer you an alternative solution in the meantime.
You can use worksheets to pull in data from related records. Worksheet equations use specific identifiers to refer to other fields.
Here's an example master feature worksheet that I put together:
Use
self.ideas[].status
to pull in the status of the linked idea.This would then show on the field like this:
I hope this helps!
