    Hi Tom,

    counting tasks is not (yet?) possible with calculation fields, unless you mean that you have a separate app for tasks (not the native Podio tasks). If in fact you have two apps (one with items, one with tasks), then you could try what I described here: https://help.podio.com/hc/communities/public/questions/201849698-Counting-number-of-related-apps

    Hope that helps! Best,
    Stefan

    What is the plan for the Calculation field? It seems quite limited so far. Is this a focus of the Podio team or something that will take a year to improve?

    I need to determine whether I should learn JavaScript to make Calculations useful. Creating a Task app to work around Podio limitations doesn't seem proper. Thanks.

    Hey guys,

    thanks for your great feedback. We do not use a seperate app for tasks, so we can't use your workaround Stefan. I already thought about using the api and webhooks but it feels like "Die Kirche ums Dorf tragen" ;)

    I really hope that there will be a way to do more things like that (selecting and triggering fields / tasks) in the future

    cheers Tom

    The ability to count referenced fields (as opposed to sum, avg) would be very useful. I used Stefan's workaround in order to provide a calculated progress field in the projects app that averages progress of all related items across multiple deliverables apps. Providing a method to count related items would be much cleaner.

    You can get a Count of items in any app field using by accessing sum of xxx and ave of xxx

    count = sum of / ave of

    clunky but it works
