Remap Parent Task Dates based on Subtasks
beta
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.

Hi Bugra Oktay
Precedence Diagramming Method (PDM)
I have done the BETA testing, it looks good with the basic task dependency.
But I still would like to know what and how ClickUp plan to develop this feature, will you follow the
Precedence Diagramming Method (PDM)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1jpzPpY1CMThe PDM is the foundation of this feature request, instead of just developing something, I suggest it's better to follow a specific framework or method so everyone can follow and learn both method and tool. A fool with a tool is still a fool, the method is more important than the tool, Effective vs efficiency:)
PDM is important and particularly flexible because it allows for the use of all four types of logical relationships:
- Finish-to-Start (FS): Task B can't start until Task A finishes. (The default/most common)
- Start-to-Start (SS): Task B can't start until Task A starts.
- Finish-to-Finish (FF): Task B can't finish until Task A finishes.
- Start-to-Finish (SF): Task B can't finish until Task A starts.
By allowing all these types of dependencies, PDM can accurately model complex project scenarios where tasks may overlap or have non-linear relationships.
Predecessors & Successors column/field)
It's really painful when mapping parent tasks and subtasks with each other where you have to click, click, click, and click, before you can link them in the list view, it's a little bit quicker to link tasks in the gantt chart view, but still not UX friendly.
Please give us a dedicated predecessors/successors column/field in list view or in gantt chart view so we can quickly link tasks together as seen in this video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrBppMhvuHw
I have also created a feature request for this, you are welcome to vote for it everyone :)

THIS IS AWESOME! Beta version in full swing. I see so much potential with this!!
Only red flag so far is if you enable it at the top level parent task, it will automatically enable it on EVERY parent subtask... which is problematic for us.
Kim Hoang (BF)
Clemence Wiart For you it's a problem, but for me it's not a problem, but a benefit when Scheduling and linking tasks. It has Both cons and pros. The best solution is to let users decide both options where users can
- Auto- Enable at the top level parent task, it will automatically enable it on EVERY parent subtask
- Manual- Disable Enable at the top level parent task, it will not automatically enable it on EVERY parent subtask or nested tasks.
In MS Project, this feature is much more advanced than ClickUp. They call this feature as "Task Mode". See video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMDQUmyI_dQ
Task mode will let users select and customize Summarize task/Parent task the way users wanted between the two options mentioned above.
So ClickUp please let users select between Auto vs Manual mode

Remap Parent Task Dates based on Subtasks - when will it be finally ready? I have checked all possible options, automatisations, and paid options through Zapier, and there is no way out. I simply want my tasks to consider timelines, of subtasks to build a nicely looking Gantt

Alex Lacis:
It will be available in early December.

Bugra Oktay - Could we get an update here. Last official comment on this was Aug 22nd.

KR1 Operations: apologies for the lack of attention to this thread. We are wrapping up the beta for this feature. It will be generally available in November.
Stacey Lopez
Bugra Oktay looking forward to this release!
When it is officially released, if this functionality will be something we turn on or off, please include details on how it works, and what happens to existing tasks when it is turned on.
Example: If the parent task currently "does not" reflect earliest start and latest finish of it's subtasks, will those parent dates stay as is, or will Start & Due dates be overwritten?

KR1 Operations Hoping this will be something that can be turned on for the whole workspace instead of having to toggle it on for each parent task (or give us an automation?)
