Remap Parent Task Dates based on Subtasks
in progress
Zeb
From Josef:
Remapping subtasks from parent task due date is great. But we also need it the othe way: whenever a subtask is delayed and rescheduled then the parent task due date should be updated according to new due dates for subtasks.
Ideally the parent task due date could be auto-updated to max(due date for all subtasks) or due date for the last subtask in a chain of dependencies.

Update: we are almost done building this feature.
The release is currently targeted for end of July.
Apologies for the delay.

Bugra Oktay Please make sure this is tested so well that it doesn't have the same kind of bugs that were introduced by the launch of the task 'Duration' feature - scheduling has been impossible as a result. Please make this work properly, because it will be soooooo useful!!

Bugra Oktay - I am SOOOO excited for this!

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.

These requests are now completed today https://feedback.clickup.com/feature-requests/p/automatic-start-datedue-date-based-on-start-date-due-date-or-duration
C'mon ClickUp, only this request "Remap Parent Task Dates based on Subtasks" is remaining. It's 7 years of waiting, soon a decade. Hope you can roll out our last long time waiting feature this month, before we can finally introduce ClickUp to our whole organization

I run a small business with a multi-step outreach process for wholesale leads. We use task templates with subtasks for each step (email, mailer, follow-ups, etc.), but our timeline shouldn’t start until we actually complete the first step (e.g., sending the pitch email).
It would be incredibly helpful if subtask due dates could be automatically triggered based on the completion of a specific subtask—not just the parent task’s due date.
This would make ClickUp much more powerful for teams that manage outreach, onboarding, or sequential workflows. Right now, we’re forced to either do this manually or build clunky automations that aren’t ideal at scale.
Huge potential here—would love to see this added!

Awesome. I'm looking forward to remap parent task dates.
