Automations | When something happens on a subtask (i.e. status closed), then do something on the parent task

This can be done well through unlocking. And it would be very useful
For example.
There is a parent task and 1,2,3 subtasks
We add subtasks depending on the parent.
And when closing each subtask, we need automation to check some action.
For example.
Subtask 1 is closed - change the parent status
Subtask 2 is closed - change the parent dd status
Subtask 3 is closed - add a comment to the parent

Yes please! In my case I'm really wanting to be able to update a custom field in the parent task when a particular subtask's status changes. The hope is to have an easy view of how the parent tasks are progressing through their phases as the sub-tasks are resolved.

Stacie Henderson

pretty pretty please add this

Tchelo Castro

Please, we need to change the status of a parent taks immediately

Bob Burnett

Please add this

Ludovica Liccardi

we need it!

Stefan Stefanov

We definitely need this feature. In our case, we want to automate a custom dropdown field update (stage of project) when a sub task is closed, assigned or due date is added.

Alina Joseph

ugh :( We desperately need this!!

Joerg Heinzelmann

Please add support for this. It already seems possible to close the parent if all subtasks are closed so it would be great to extend the functionality to other conditions as well.

We definitely need this and it's been quite sometime that we've been waiting for it! Can it pretty please be added soon?
