Add "update parent task status" as an action in automations

It would be great to be able to update the parent task's status when team members begin working on subtasks, without having to do it manually.
Please add an action which would allow us to create an automation that will move/update the parent task's status as subtasks are worked on.

AMEN! I want my parent task to move to In Progress when any of the subtask statuses are not "Not Started". Once all of the subtasks are completed, the parent task should be completed. In addition, these automations would clean up my Gantt charts immensely: The start date of a parent task should be the earliest start date from the subtasks and the end date should be the latest end/due date from the subtasks.
I'd like it to be be possible within the same list or for the following:
I like having separate lists for my milestones and tasks and creating a relationship with them. If the status of a task changes out of Not Started and the associated milestone in a different list is "Not Started" then an automation could be triggered to change the milestone status. Through the relationship functionality I think ClickUp could find a way for us to select fields from different lists to use as triggers or to take action on.
