Project Task Stage Auto State

Alpha License: LGPL-3 OCA/project Translate me on Weblate Try me on Runboat

Automatically change task state (done or canceled) after they remain in a stage for a configured number of days.

Key features:

  • Configure auto-done days per stage with states that you want to apply.

  • Configure auto-cancel days per stage with states that you want to apply.

  • Automatic message posted in task chatter

  • Daily scheduled action to process tasks

  • Only open tasks are processed (closed states are ignored)

Use Cases / Context

This module is useful in workflows where tasks need to be automatically closed after a certain period of time in a stage.

Common use cases:

  • Auto-done: Approval workflows where silence means consent after N days

  • Auto-done: Service level agreements (SLA) with automatic closure when completed

  • Auto-cancel: Timeout periods where tasks expire if no action is taken

  • Auto-cancel: Cleaning up stale tasks in waiting or review stages

Usage

To use this module, you need to:

  1. Enter debug mode

  2. Go to Project > Configuration > Task Stages

  3. Select or create a stage

  4. Configure the automatic actions:

    • Set “Auto-mark as done after days” to the desired number of days (0 to disable)

    • Activate shown boolean fields for states that you want to do something

    • Set “Auto-cancel after days” to the desired number of days (0 to disable)

    • Activate shown boolean fields for states that you want to do something

  5. Verify that the scheduled action “Project: Auto-change task state by stage” is active in Settings > Technical > Automation > Scheduled Actions

  6. When a task is auto-changed, a message is posted in the chatter indicating the automatic action

Notes:

  • The counter starts from the “Last Stage Update” date, which is updated each time a task changes stage

  • If both auto-done and auto-cancel are configured for the same stage and both thresholds are reached, auto-done takes precedence
