Dynamic blocks are special blocks in task descriptions with variables and formulas that are calculated each time a task is opened. You can use dynamic blocks to display values of:

  • variables;
  • formulas using time;
  • formulas that refer to long chains of Planfix objects that frequently change;
  • counterparty or project fields.

Dynamic blocks can be added to task descriptions when editing or creating a task:

A dynamic block can also be added to the task template and the custom field of type "Text":

To do this, the "Use text editor" option must be enabled for the field.

Dynamic block settings

  • Click the three dots in curly brackets to add a variable or formula to the block:

  • Here's how a dynamic block would be displayed in a table when editing a task description:

  • To edit a dynamic block, click the three dots.
  • When you open a task, the data in any dynamic blocks in it are recalculated, and the result is shown:

Important

  • Dynamic blocks work in the task card description or in the "Text" field when the editor is enabled.
  • Dynamic blocks help in cases where calculated fields can't get the job done.
