Automation condition of "is/is not subtask"
planned
Jonathan Leung
I want to be able to filter a ClickUp trigger by "subtask".
For instance, when "Task created", I want to be able to add "if it is a subtask".

Small update: After reviewing the feedback here, we touched-up the design and made the experience feel less disjointed (previously it was at the top right)
Hoping to get started here soon!

Zach - ClickUp: Nice! We need this for: if parent task is status done, change status of subtasks to status done. Will this cover that?
Michelle Africa
Zach - ClickUp: This will be perfect!

I have the same need

The coolest thing would be to be able to differentiate between task/subtask in the trigger conditionals and then act on the subtask by referencing the parent task. Example:
When Task Created and task is subtask, then Set Custom Field (from the subtask) equal to the same custom field from the parent task.

Bruno: OMG, yes. We need this so badly

Bruno: We have an automation between Zendesk <> ClickUP, after waiting for CU Automations to release a solution for subtasks, we've move forward and since then we are doing it with Zapier. So, today it's Zendesk <> Zapier <>ClickUP.

This got me thinking: "Set a sub-task to complete when the sub-sub task is complete"
What I'd really like is to set a parent task status when all sub tasks equal the same status. For example, if a task (or sub-task) has five sub tasks and they are all set to "In progress" then the parent task status should automatically be set to "In Progress".

I think this is necessary, otherwise it becomes too difficult to work with subtasks efficiently.
As today the subtasks do not allow automation, we must be creating lists unnecessarily to obtain the flows and this causes the number of lists to grow too much and ends up being ineffective.

Zach - ClickUp: would this be individually for every automation or for all the views at one time?
Zach - ClickUp
Lamya Elhosseiny: Individually
Mariana Irazu
Zach - ClickUp: Hi Zach! Thank you for posting the mock-up 🙌
I did want to mention that this does not solve my team's request. We'd like changes made in the subtask to trigger changes in the parent task. For example:
--
When Custom Field is changed
AND task is subtask
Then, Change parent task status Status
--
This would be a hugeeee time saver and a big big point of improvement

Zach - ClickUp do we have a launch date for this? Thanks!
Zach - ClickUp
amy schlabach: We're going to hopefully start on it soon! No launch dates estimates yet.

The mockup doesn't cover this requirement either:
if <subtask> change to xxx
Then update <parent task> to xxx
And also this requirement:
if <subtask> change to xxx
Then update <sibling subtask(s)> to xxx
(where sibling subtasks to be updated can be filtered)

In other words, the best solution is one that that covers every relationship between subtasks and their parents so that all possibilities are covered for maximum flexibility when setting up automations.
