would like to request and option to have a option to trigger a workflow or action evey time a change in the dropdown list is changed,

basically the picture below is my remedy. the dropdown updates a “tempstatus”, the update button writes the tempstatus value to the “Project Status” and also writes to “log” history ( @useruser/update, @log)

i would like simplify this into an auto update , i will save less 1 column, less 1 component.

Much better if it can be applied also on dropdown list for tables, (more like [monday.com](http://monday.com),). since users like a more simpler approch on updating tasks in my case, but i dont want to sacrifice my action logs to monitor who and when update was made.

I don’t have a solution for Tables, but instead of a choice component, you could build a Custom AI component that does what you want. Create a column that contains your choices as a comma delimited list or JSON. Prompt the component create a dropdown sourced from a column of comma delimited items or JSON. Also tell it that you want an action to be ran when your choice changes.
