Remap Parent Task Dates based on Subtasks
planned
Zeb
From Josef:
Remapping subtasks from parent task due date is great. But we also need it the othe way: whenever a subtask is delayed and rescheduled then the parent task due date should be updated according to new due dates for subtasks.
Ideally the parent task due date could be auto-updated to max(due date for all subtasks) or due date for the last subtask in a chain of dependencies.

Hi Ryan MacAlmon,
Having the parent task inherit the first start date and last due date from its subtasks is a functionality that we're planning on rolling out as part of a series of scheduling improvements.
At the moment, our focus is on introducing duration-based scheduling and support for non-working days.
While you may already be aware, you can right-click on a parent task in the Gantt view and select the “Use subtask dates” option. We know this isn’t a full solution, but it might help until the full feature is available.

This is a very important functionality that would save us a lot of time. Please release this update asap.

i ain't project manager but when i start to use this tool a month, i realize that whenever i add subtask with later due date, my parent task due date remains earlier than my subtask. this is annoying as i need to manually change all the due dates within the layers of subtasks.

Please release this update guys 🙏

I do not understand how a project management software do not have this very basic option. It is extremely frustrating to every time we update sub task to have to review the whole project to make sure parent tasks dates are correct.
The time spend on this is significant enough that we are evaluating Monday as an alternative as inaccurate reporting is not an option.

Agreed. This please!

This is a HUGE one for us. Please, please...do this soon. Right now, we're using the CU API to automatically adjust parent task dates based on changes in the sub-tasks via a command line tool one of our engineers made, but this isn't how we should have to solve this.

Its a definite requirement for me to consider moving beyond being a trial customer. I am busy evaluating...
