solved it via make.com while we wait - not ideal, but works pretty solid and setup is fairly easy

I'm a fairly new user to ClickUp and can already say this is a huge pain point. Even if it's a setting at the workspace level this really should be built - manually filling in each field - even when building templates - is extremely time consuming.

This is probably my #1 pain point when creating subtasks in automations. Having to make sure the creator populates a custom field on the subtask so assignments can be applied, and the subtask moves to the correct list is dependent upon this action. I have a view that alerts me when this happens, but it would be great if I could control this must happen, especially when the information is in the task.

I really don't understand why this isn't a feature already. At least add it as part of the automation features where we can just choose to populate a field based on main task of the same field.

please this functionality is very important! the platform is very powerful, and in the context of efficiency it would be more than important to fine-tune that functionality!

Can we have an ECD for this, please ? This is a must for efficiency purposes!

This feature will be handy and relatively easy to implement with the automation, especially for dropdown and text CF.

This would be very useful providing we can decide which custom fields to inherit from the parent task , including preset ones (Dates, Priorities) and custom ones

This is still desperately needed. Not having this feature is dreadful...

Highly required to determine the use of ClickUp
