Juan Grandas this is great thankyou!

I've added this comment in the survey - but the biggest challenge i've had with the remap subtasks feature is it doesn't remap their start dates - only their due dates - it would be great if there was the option to remap based on parent task ie: if parent task start and due dates change - do this to sub tasks - if only due dates change - do this for sub tasks.

I appreciate putting this into action is more challenging than just explaining how we want it to work - but we really appreciate the level of though and time you put into make sure these tools work the way we need them to!

so big thank you to you and the clickup team for always innovating and working to make clickup better for its users.

Juan Grandas I forgot to add at the end of the survey....is it possible for subtasks to date default to the parents dates? then we can reschedule. As a subtask doesnt appear on the gantt until it has dates. :) just a thought.

Thanks Juan Grandas

I have completed the survey.

I can see that it will be tricky if both Subtask and Parent task remap is enabled.

If we had to choose (only one enabled at a time), we would likely Choose Parent task remapping based on sub-tasks. But having the option either way is good, and would love to configure this at any level as needed.

Looking forward to this development, much needed and will be super appreciated! :)

I agree with Bec Morris

Remapping should apply to BOTH start and end dates when updating Parent tasks from sub-task dates.

Essentially, it would work how to List dates show on the Gantt chart at the moment.

Juan Grandas I am so so excited for parent task sync to be an option. I feel like it is the predominant use case for more people since parent task dates should equal the total of all its subtasks. Doesn't quite make as much sense in reverse. But remap subtasks certainly could still have an off use cases when mass moving project/deliverable dates...

One thing that I failed to mention in my survey response was that. It may make more sense to have "due date" be changed to "planned completion date"

As an example. You can have a due date for a parent task deliverable on March 1st. But your planned completion date is actually March 5th.

If you could set due date separate from the start date and planned completion date then you'd be able to showcase when deliverables/tasks are late.

Having it be start date > due date isn't a great representation of what a due date actually is. What is actually being represented is more of a planned to be completed date. Which is why i'd suggest changing to have planned completion date be the nomenclature. And then have a separate field for due date. This would allow for formatting to highlight when a planned completion date is past a due date. Useful for automations or custom formatting if that ever gets ramped up.

Thank you for your hard work!

Juan Grandas We request the ability to select either Auto or Manual scheduling mode at every level of the task hierarchy – for individual tasks, lists, folders, and spaces.

Microsoft Project offers a flexible scheduling approach. Tasks with subtasks are designated as "Summary Tasks." When a Summary Task is in Auto Schedule mode, its start and end dates are automatically calculated based on the dates of its subtasks, and the Summary Task dates cannot be directly edited. However, users can switch any task (Summary or subtask) to Manual mode. This allows independent date adjustments for both parent and child tasks.

This flexibility is crucial for various scheduling needs. For example, consider a Summary Task with three subtasks (A, B, and C) that ideally occur chronologically. Task A must precede Task B, but Task C can start 10 days before Task A. If Task C is in Auto Schedule mode and its start date is moved 10 days earlier, the Summary Task's start date will also shift, which is undesirable. We want Task C to remain associated with the Summary Task. By switching Task C to Manual mode, its start date can be adjusted independently without affecting the Summary Task's schedule. This granular control over scheduling is essential.

But don't forget task dependency is also important when it comes to project schedule, your team must understand it if you want to develop a PROJECT MANAGEMENT TOOL, not a task management tool:) check it out here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C29zmSaxUf4

LIST SUMMARY TASK

The previous example focused on tasks within a list, where the list itself acts as the highest-level summary task.

FOLDER SUMMARY TASK

When a folder is set to Auto Schedule mode, all its constituent summary lists, sub-summary tasks within those lists, and individual tasks within those lists should automatically adjust their schedules to align with the folder's schedule.

SPACE SUMMARY TASK

Similarly, when a space is set to Auto Schedule mode, all its contained summary folders, lists, sub-summary tasks within those folders and lists, and individual tasks within those folders and lists should automatically update their schedules to reflect the space's schedule.
