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

Why isn't this on the roadmap, considering it has 334 votes and numerous comments? I would love for any incomplete subtasks to be updated to 'NA (closed)' if the parent task is closed. At the very least, the ability to create an automation for subtasks, and when a parent task is chosen in the list view, choose the subtasks, or at least ask if you want to select subtasks too.

When custom specific field is updated in parent task - update subtasks... (automation trigers and automation functions)

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!
