Option to remap subtasks when parent task dependencies are rescheduled

This seems buggy- not a feature to add, but a bug to fix. We have a series of dependencies with interconnected tasks and subtasks. Being unable to remap subtasks by dependencies makes dependencies dangerous.

To add to this, it is really important for my team to be able to take the main parent task, and when we move it, for all the children tasks to move with it maintaining their relative positions on the timeline regardless of dependencies. This is possible at the list level, when you move the green line in the Gantt that represent the time span of the entire list, all the tasks and sub tasks move along the timeline perfectly, but I can't do the same at the task level without selecting all the children tasks one by one, which is not realistic for tasks with many subtasks.

This is super important.
I do construction. We have parent tasks (Start Plumbing) and child tasks (schedule plumber, order plumbing material, etc). The child tasks are connected to the parents date wise. So 3 days before Start plumbing I need to order the material. If Start plumbing gets pushed off, so should order material.
Luckily we have remap child due dates. So all is good!
It breaks down when the parent tasks are all in a dependency chain. So Start Plumbing is waiting on End Framing. If End Framing is pushed off, so is Start Plumbing. But for some maddening reason, Clickup does not remap the child due dates of Start Plumbing when it is automatically pushed off via a dependency!
So End Framing is on Jan 15th. Start Plumbing on Jan 16th. Order plumbing material is on Jan 13th.
If I manually push off Start Plumbing to the 20th, Order material goes to the 17th. Perfect!
But if I push off End Framing to the 19th, which automatically pushes off Start Plumbing to the 20th, Order material remains on the 13th!!
Please fix this ASAP. Without this fixed, CU is unusable for any sort of complex dependency and subtask chain (like construction).
