When we move a Task from "To do" Bucket into "Doing" Bucket, is there a way to automatically update the Progress status from "Not Started" to "In Progress".
Hi @SuperFabz10
There is no automatic trigger for this, no. I am sorry.
The answer stinks, but it is the answer

Thanks for the response Michael, that is a real shame. My first time doing this, should I accept as solution even though there is no solution?
It REALLY stinks that you cannot add rules to update fields based on bucket. I feel like every other tool of this type i've used can do that (Asana, Monday, Jira). why does it default to Status Buckets, like a normal Kanban board if it has a separate field for progress?? Makes no sense. Please pass this on to MS PLanner product team for an enhancement.
