Any movement? It is frustrating to lose hours on copying fields over to subtasks...

I can't wait to have this feature live to avoid manual addition each time

I beg, I plead! This seems to be all that's left to truly eliminating tool sprawl with ClickUp! 💌

We recently migrated to Clickup, and this is one of the biggest gaps in functionality from our previous tool. We do a high volume of client reporting, and need certain custom fields filled out for every task. Ensuring this is done across multiple custom fields is not only very time consuming, but exposes us to risk in tasks not being updated and therefore not being included in these reports.

This is very much needed. This seems like a really basic feature to be completely missing!

We still need this feature, and we need it to be optional. For example I have one custom field that I DO NOT want to be copied over to it's subtasks, but several other custom fields that I DO want copied over to subtasks for informational purposes.

Yes, this functionality is definitely necessary. Currently, when main tasks and subtasks are handled in bulk, a significant amount of manual work is required, which becomes inefficient and time-consuming.
There should be an option that allows attributes (such as custom fields) from the main task to automatically carry over to the subtasks. Alternatively, there should be a provision to upload or assign custom attributes directly to subtasks during bulk import. At present, this capability is not available, which creates operational limitations.

Merged in a post:
Inherit custom fields
Omar Invelec
There is a need to be able to inherit custom fields from a list or folder, as well as allowing the option in subtasks to inherit them from the main task
