Inheriting due dates from project/list/task
Naya
It would be nice if tasks (or subtasks) would automatically inherit the due date of the list (or project or task). Because there is no way these items have a due date AFTER the due date higher in the hierarchy. After that, if one wants to set a prior due date one could manually change due dates of items farther down in the hierarchy. Maybe when setting a due date (or in the general settings at that) one could be asked "should the items below inherit the due date?"

Please update tasks so that related (relationship linked) tasks inherit each others qualities. Every task I create will have related (relationship linked) tasks with them.
My use case is as such:
- I create 4 tasks that are all linked to each other
- I have to add a "stat date" rollup to each tasks relationship
- Whenever a change is needed on one task (description or custom fields), I have to update all of them separately (instead of them all updating/inheriting the changes).
I would like to see customizability as well. For instance, select what can be inherited/auto updated on each task. For instance, only update description, certain custom fields, and relationship rollups (toggle what can be inherited)

I'd like to extend this request to milestones (and epics, though they don't exist yet. Waiting on https://clickup.canny.io/feature-requests/p/custom-item-types-instead-of-only-tasks). Basically, if a task is blocking any other item type, and the blocked item has a due date, the blocking task will inherit the due date.
This should go as deep as a necessary through the task relationship structure in order to find a due date - the earliest due date would be the one selected.
Examples
- If a task without a due date blocks another task which blocks a milestone, and only the milestone has a due date, both tasks would inherit the due date of the milestone.
- If a task without a due date blocks two other tasks with due dates, the blocking task would inherit the earlier of the due dates as its own due date.

Really would like to see this to automatically align Task dates to Sprints (list start/due)
