I'd be interested in why you can't use time. While it might be the case that you really can't use the time dimension, I would take a step back and rethink why you can't use the time dimension. Understanding that the model is older and it likely would be a lot of work to deploy the change, it will likely be well worth the effort and time to make the change. Over time it will probably even save time overall due to maintenance and scalability issues.  ... View more

It's not the same as assign but I would check out forms within the new ux. It provides a nice popup for adding to a list and populating line items within a specific module and list properties if applicable. You can add or edit current forms in the "Configure Actions" menu.        ... View more

You can create the on a board by going into the menu of a published card and then going to Forms. This menu also allows you to add the form action to that card's menu which saves on real estate on the board. It also syncs when that item is created within the board you are on.

If the transaction list has a top-level you can use a summary method of min/max on the original line and then add a second line with the other summary. For large transaction modules this will reduce the number of line items and avoid issues with the RANK() formula after 1 million (performance) and 10 million (artificial limit). If you only have one day per line then it shouldn't really matter as you would be unlikely to hit these numbers.   To get a list count, depending on what you are trying to accomplish, you can add a line item to a module with the formula = 1. This would require the top level again but if you have that you can grab from the top, otherwise you could use a SUM against it.     ... View more
