Question: Can I auto set status based on criteria?

[Dave]

Hi folks - I searched for this and didn't find anything.  

All I'm looking to do is automatically set status to Active if a task's start date has been reached so I can filter on it.  Is there an easy way to do this?

Thanks!

[.dan.g.]

So the underlying requirement is to be able to filter on tasks started by 'today'?

Sorry for the late response - work got crazy.

I figured out how to do this with a filter - one rule for start date today or before, and completed date not set.  

Would still love to know if there is a mechanism to "set" status based on actions, but purely informational now.  

Thanks!

Not as a general rule, just when a task is completed:
