I can't believe there isn't already a setting for this - I thought I was just not looking in the right place! Please sort this, it's such a pain to have to manually add things across.
It would also be good if people added to subtasks were added automatically to the parent task too

cant find the vote button but this a fundamental that you can cascade a property/field to subtasks and nested subtasks as we try and keep the tasks connected across disparate teams

When you create a subtask that can inherit custom fields and especially in automations, you can choose to inherit parent tasks.

It would help the team a lot with this feature. Any predictions for when this might happen?

PLEASE get this option active ASAP - 90% of my subtasks run automations dependent on the Parent Tasks custom fields. I used to be able to run them, and some other update changed that. Conditional rules and retroactive applications would be helpful, but just standard copying of custom fields from parent task to it's subtasks is paramount for my functionality. Without it, I am manually copying about 25 custom fields into about 10 subtasks for EVERY parent task in order to run my automations. Please hurry!! And thank you.

Custom drop-downs and custom labels are important for inheritance in our workflow. Bulk apply would save a ton of time and bring our reports to a more correct status.
