Remap Parent Task Dates based on Subtasks
completed

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.

Remap Parent Task Dates based on Subtasks
is here 🎉 This one's been a long time coming, and it's live. Parent tasks can now stay in sync with their subtasks automatically - no more manually dragging the parent every time a subtask shifts.
What you get:
* Parent task start date = earliest subtask start, due date = latest subtask due, updated automatically as subtasks move.
* Turn it on per list (right-click a list or use List Settings) - it applies across Gantt, List, and Task views, not just Gantt.
* A prompt appears when a subtask is scheduled outside the parent's range, so you can sync with one click.
* Parent dates stay editable - you'll just get a quick confirm so nothing changes by accident.
* A workspace-level ClickApp lets admins enable/disable it everywhere.
Available on Business Plus and above. Thank you to everyone who voted and commented over the years - this is your feature.

I find the feature incredibly unreliable. Sometimes it works and sometimes is doesnt? It is particularly flaky on nested subtasks. Im struggling to work out how this is a 'new' feature. Surely for a program tracking and management tool this is a fundamental.

Such a shame that after such a long wait, this is not available on the regular business plan.....I hope this is just part of rollout sequencing rather than an attempt to entice upgrades....

This is backwards for me. The date I need for the parent is the SOONEST subtask due date. Or, perhaps this should be a different column?

Wow. This one was many many years coming. Congratulations. I can't imagine how complicated it must have been considering its development period. Good job and this is a serious boon to my normal way of working. Thank you for all your hard work!
