Hi all,
I am looking at using Work Package module of OpenProject to track workflow activities using the status and discussion between different users. I was able to create a customized workflow using the statuses and workflow of the Work Packages configuration and it is really cool!
However, I couldn't find any information on allowing status to move to the next stage automatically based on certain conditions. (E.g. Status update after 5 days in 'Paused', or if everybody in a certain group changes the status). Is this functionality possible in OpenProject?
Your help is greatly appreciated! :)

Hi Tobias,
Great to hear that you like the intelligent workflows!
It is not possible to move a work package from one status automatically to another. If you have created a customized workflow you need to click on the custom action button for the custom action to be executed. Please find the description here.
Kind regards
Samantha
Hi Samantha,
Thanks for clarifying. Would it be possible to achieve the said functionality using a plugin?
Hi Tobias,
it's hard to answer in a generic fashion of course but given your examples, they could definitely be implemented with a plugin that triggers certain actions based on time or other constraints.
You could even employ the APIv3 to filter for work packages matching certain conditions and use an access token or other means of authentication to perform the status updates.
