Hi, This is a must, can we have an ECD, please ? Please make this an option at the space level, not to be selected on each project !

Remapping recently broke: When you move a parent task later by 1 week, the subtasks remap.

But when you move a parent task earlier by 1 week, the subtasks have stopped remapping. This is troubling because if we need to make projects due sooner, we have to manually remap all the subtasks.

Thought this feature was coming in may 2025 - can we have an update on timeline, please? :)

How do you use dependencies to do this? I am a bit new to this so I am a little lost

Maggie Linder

I still am unable to remap subtask start dates when I move the parent task in a timeline view. When will this feature be available. I shouldn't need to rely on dependencies in order to do this.

So, this may not help everyone's use case, but it solved mine, which was just moving subtasks at the same time and in the same time increment that I move a parent task. If you are in Gantt view, expand the dropdown so that the subtasks are in view, select the multi-select circle to the left of the task/subtask names, this will highlight all of them, then move them as a group. This will keep them in the same relationship to one another, but will adjust all of the dates accordingly. I hope this helps.

PLEASE!!! I can't expect my team to know exactly how long a task should take. I should be able to set it in the template. The way dependencies are set up at the moment, only someone who is very familiar with the software, such as the PM can really set up tasks...

Anika Edrei

I don't understand how you could have a Gantt view without this feature! The dependencies ClickApp is confusing and doesn't notify you the same way the "remap subtask dates" clickapp works, so we dont use it.

Anika Edrei

As the only PM for a team of 20 (and multiple complex projects), I desperately need this - clickup needs to be able to be managed at least somewhat by people who are less familiar, most of the time its just intimidating

Can we have an update on this ? When can we have a feature for globally use subtask date on all parent task ? I have 154 parents task, it is time consuming to manually apply.

Guilherme Secco

I believe that it is necessary for the task to also depend on the dates of the subtasks. The start and finish date of a task must be directly linked to its subtasks. If you have a task with numerous subtasks with specific dates, the start date of the main task will be the oldest among all the subtasks, while the finish date will be the most future. Thus, the main task covers the entire period necessary to complete its subtasks, ensuring coherent and aligned planning.

Would love for this to be available with automations. When a task is entered with multiple subtasks, set due date to subtasks based off parent task.
