Need ability to use CUSTOM Status as a Kanban status
in progress
Brian Graham (DadJokes)
This is different than the new relations functionality and its not the same as the request to use a global field as a status.
Right now we have to write a bunch of automations to change global fields. For example... when a status changes on one board, it changes on another, so if both boards are using the same field as a kanban, it would move on both places. This is currently a TON of automations that we have to write over and over to achieve this... This would also make a portfolio report dead simple.
Would love to just be able to change 1 status field that populates everywhere... Can you just enable the ability to use a Custom STATUS field in kanban view?

Please allow us to set Shared Status Fields as the default field of a board's Kanban
Travis Kindred
Shared fields have proven to be incredibly useful and necessary for our production needs at our studio. However, since they cannot be set as a board's default status and therefore can't be displayed on the Kanban board, we've had to resort to extremely tedious and elaborate automation setups to get local and shared status fields to work this way. Since setting this up, we've created multiple infinite loops that have capped out our automation limit and ground Favro to a halt on multiple occasions. In addition to this, the Favro support team usually can't reset our automation limit until substantially later, and we end up needing to scramble without automations for the majority of our work day.
I cannot stress enough how absolutely essential the Shared Status Field has become to our workflow, and making them selectable as a default field would allow me to reduce our overall automation use and bug reporting but a substantial amount.

Mirror all status changes between two boards

Automation allows for creating a specific status change from one board to another. Being able to have a single box that mirrors all status changes from one board to the other would be great (as in, when Done is set in Board A, set it in Board B, etc. but for a full status list).

Agree, I would love to be able to move the cards across a personal kanban (because there is no kanban view for MyCards) and have them move across their original boards as well.

Hans Dahlström How far away could a feature like this be? I hadn't seen this feature request before but it would solve a real big problem for us.

Sebastian Zethraeus: The feature is coming along, and we are near completion. You can also check the progress on our Public Roadmap when it will be completed. https://favro.com/organization/54f72cf77fb4776c31d006ee/4d9b30ba4d9d7eeff7bbd34e

Dovidas Baranauskas that's Great news! Thank you. Does that mean we can expect them to be available after new years?
Dovidas Baranauskas
Sebastian Zethraeus That is the plan. We are now in the final testing stage and checking if there are no issues or bugs. Follow the public roadmap for more updates and also check out our Discord server, where we will also have an event to showcase the functionality.

Genuinely curious if this is something we can look into. We want to be able to use dashboards to pull information from multiple boards using a specific Custom Status field, but we need the kanban view of those source boards to allow us to use the Custom Status field as the layout. Currently you can choose a regular Status, but not a Custom Status.
