Webhooks - Add Event for when a task hierarchy is changed..

It would be nice to get an event for when a task is promoted to a 'parent ' task.
Similarly, it would also be beneficial to have an event for when a task is made into a sub-task.

In general there are so many problems in Clickup API
Not emitting a TaskMoved or TaskUpdate event after a hierarch has changed is a major stepback.
No automations can be initiated.
I am trying to build a reliable Change Data Capture system but this is a showstopper.
What a shame!
It seems that consistency is not a critical aspect for the clickup Api development team

Yes please. In general, ClickUp doesn’t emit a webhook when a task’s parent/child relationship changes. That means moves like:
Promotion/Demotion: a top-level task becomes a subtask (or vice versa).
Reparenting: a subtask is moved under a different parent—whether within the same tree (dragging up/down levels) or into a new hierarchy.
As a result, you can’t build reliable, fail-safe automations to sync parent and subtask properties, because no event fires when a subtask enters or leaves a hierarchy.
