Since public ideas are linked to internal issues (in Ducalis, or task tracker), the progress statuses of these two parallel workflows should go in sync. Setting up status auto-updates helps automatically update an idea’s status each time an issue’s progress status is changed.
Step to Follow to Set Up Status Auto-Updates
- To switch this feature on, head over to the Voting board settings.

- Choose the internal issues’ status.
- Choose the public ideas’ status you want them updated to.
