Hi @BLUEFROG. Thanks a lot pointing me to the blog post above. This was quite helpful.
Move and File
The File action doesn’t create subgroups in a location you’ve moved to. This is discussed in this blog post…
I’m not sure if we talk about the same.
Given this rule:

And this group structure + file:
When I apply the rule, the move + file-actions work as wanted:
Is there anything I miss. My solution seems to “work” as expected from my side.
Copy location of group111
On the next iteration I would love to rebuild the smart rules to be more dynamic. Something similar to this smart rule:

There might be some steps inbetween which are less “dynamic” without any placeholder. I just started to get comfortable with DEVONthink and don’t want to make things too complicated at the beginning. Those steps in between might require a rule per company.
Problem
I need to build rules and write down full locations manually which I want to avoid. That’s the reason why I asked where I can copy the full location of a subgroup.
Something similar to that:

Plan B
- Given the deeply move-action above + plus the dynamic creation of a subgroup makes less error prone. For now I have a solution for my problem.
- Or I just create a template rule which I duplicate for each company. This would also reduce the risk of making typos.
I hope my explanations make it more clear, what I want to achieve. Thanks a lot for your help.
