Automations | When something happens on a parent task (i.e. status closed), then do something on its subtasks
Zach
Examples:
- When status is closed on the parent task, also close the subtask
- When due date is set on the parent task, also set the due date on the subtask

In addition to just taking action on the subtasks, we should also be able to reference all the subtasks and make a decision on what action to take on the parent task. E.g. when I change the parent task status, check the statuses of all subtask and if a particular status is included in one of the subtasks, revert the parent task status and send a notification.

Zach, is there any update on this? This seems like one of the more glaring omissions to CU automation capabilities IMO.

Yes!! Ideally have subtasks also inherit parent task tag, essential for making time logging & reporting easier.

This is major and hopefully we can get this done asap.

This would be really powerful!

Adding into the mix, we could really use this! The sub-task statuses keep throwing our processes/team off. Would love to see this added soon!

Really need this

We use some subtasks as a tracking tool and if it's parrent task is "done", then we always close the subtask as well. That's happens every day many times. So automation would be really beneficial! Tasks with specific custom field would automatically close their subtasks once they are "done". We would use it also on other cases, but this one is the biggest pain.

When a subtask is created, it automatically adds the tag of the parent task. This would open up a lot of other automation possibility.
