When I move a parent task from Backlog to Sprint Backlog — that is, the user story — the subtasks remain in Backlog, and this has a huge impact on the reports I use to track the team’s workload points. The sum of the points from these subtasks in Backlog isn’t counted; only the points entered directly in the parent task are considered, which isn’t how we assign points. How is this not solved yet?

Please, this is very helpful for creating an automation and the action is send a channel message.

Also raising my hand to say this is much needed.

Wow, this would really be a great improvement! Please, please, please start developing this!

Stop everything and develop this! :)

This is a big one. I have literally 40x the automations I need, because of duplicate automations specifically to create subtasks that carry a specific value based on another task with a specific value because there is no way to roll down field values.

For example, we have a checkbox field for "Record a bug" so that when on a Build Task (think of it like feature), we can easily record a bug, apply a template and task type, assign it and all that good stuff with automations. Its a single checkbox click to do it. However, we have many different systems we work on, and I need key information rolled down so that things like dashboards and lists that have filters show all relevant tasks and dont miss anything. This forced me to make 30-40 automations for recording a bug for different instances, all because there isn't a way to roll down fields. If the create a subtask automation allowed for inheriting fields, I could have 1-3 automations, instead of managing an entire library of duplicates.

This feature is much overdue. Let's go ClickUp! :)

6 years and almost 5k votes and your just considering it ?! This is the one thing I've wanted since I stated using ClickUp 5 years ago. I spend so much wasted time re-entering data that's already there. Please, Please, Please make this happen.

Cannot vote for this enough. If you're using ClickUp properly for larger projects, there could be hundreds of tasks and subtasks. We shouldn't have to set the same value (even in bulk for each subtask set) every single time, or rely on duplicating tasks then changing names

Hi Caroline, I hope you proceed with this. We use Clickup extensively and are struggling with this issue. Clearing this up will definitely enhance our user experience.

Probably needs to be a per-List option.

I would want this on some Lists, but not others.
