Gantt time estimation of parent task
building now
Thomas Pfeiffer
The Gantt view doesn't take the aggregated time estimation of the subtasks.
I'd like to work on a clean representation, hidding subtasks (but even wuthout doing that), dragging my 1000H taks just put it in 1day slot.
I'd hope the full perdiod can be represented, from the starting date I'm putting and consedering the estimation time, the expected day the task will end.

We are working on summary task in Gantt which will roll up the dates of subtasks into the parent task.
It must be noted that this is different from rolling up time estimates associated with tasks.

When this feature is available, ill bring my company to ClickUp, currently we are using MS Planner. Please email me when this is available. as of now I am halting the decision to come to this platform. This feature is of paramount importance.

I confirm, very necessary

Yes, this.
Rollup/ summary tasks are a must for the gantt view to be a viable option for ore robust project planning--not just task management or collaboration.
Not only is this parity with project management tools across the board (ex: Microsoft Project), but is a very standard method to provide at-a-glance project updates.
Alex Yule on 5/11/22 and Franchescoly Leiva 6/23/22 outline the standard, expected behavior.

Great feature! we need it, is important to know the timeline of a parent task and move it according to its subtask's date changes.

on my work i need this feature and i'm wandering why this feature is not applied till now, the request is that we need the parent task to be calculated its start and end date automatically from its subtasks or even have the option to choose to calculate it automatically or manually
Rene Ortiz
We need this feature urgently!!

Hello ClickUp - When are you going to fix this?

Alex Yule
Basic project management functionality would be
Parent Task Start Date = MIN Child Start Date
Parent Task End Date = MAX Child End Date
this is critical for easier project planning and is currently preventing us from moving ~100 users to ClickUp
in the example the Child tasks have dates and the Parent should automatically populate based on this information

Alex Yule: YES! This.
Preferably with a similarly different visual styling as the list-level timing roll-up.

I have just started using ClickUp and am a bit surprised that parent start/end dates aren't calculated from sub-tasks. As another poster says, I'd expect the parent task start date to be based on the earliest sub-task start date, and the parent task end date to be based on the latest sub-task end date.
