I'm surprised to learn this isn't a feature already. This would significantly streamline many workflows and keep tasks moving forward on larger scale implementations.

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.

pretty pretty please add this

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

Please add this

we need it!

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.

ugh :( We desperately need this!!

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.
