Create a Folder in Network Drive for Each Task.

Hi All,
I need to create a folder in specific structure for each Task.
For Example :
Task 1 Data:
Subject: AX-000-0001
Date :  2024-02-27
Category: AAA
CustomField1: XXX
Folder that I want to create :  Z:\2024\AAA\XXX\AX-000-0001

Task 2 Data:
Subject: AX-000-0002
Date :  2024-02-26
Category: BBB
CustomField1: YYY
Folder that I want to create :  Z:\2024\BBB\YYY\AX-000-0002

Is this Possible in Open Project. That Will help a lot for to manage the files. In Organized Structure.

Hello,

You may be able to achieve your desired folder structure by using some external tools or scripts. For example, you could use a command-line tool like mkdir to create folders in your network drive based on the task data or you could use a programming language like Node.js or Java to write a script that reads the task data from OpenProject and creates the folders accordingly. You may need to use the OpenProject [API] to access the task data programmatically.

I hope this helps you with your problem.

Thanks for your reply.
I already have a sync script for adding/Updating the Work Packages.
But the things is if the user needs to decide if the folder require and all necessary fields are filled, then only we need to create a folder.
