Autofill subtask field through Parent Task for another Project

Hello Team,
I’m creating a subtask using Field and rules
and now I’m wondering if I can create a subtask for different Project and auto-fill it’s Fields by mapping it with Main Task’s fields
Is it possible, pls let me know how I can do it

Looking forward for your help
Thanks

Hello, @Aditya_Kumar_Pandey I do not believe this is possible in Asana, as subtasks do not automatically inherit the custom fields or values from the parent task.

@Aditya_Kumar_Pandey - Hey! If you’re on Enterprise, you can do this with Script Actions. There’s even a free snippet shared in this post → Free snippets for "Custom Scripts" rule action in Asana

If you’re not on Enterprise, you can still have the subtask inherit the parent task values by using custom field variables when creating the subtask through rules. However, keep in mind this won’t update automatically if the parent task values changes.

FYI @Aditya_Kumar_Pandey, you can also accomplish this with rules in our Flowsana integration.

@Aditya_Kumar_Pandey If you are creating the subtask using Rules, then you can autopopulate the values of custom fields in the newly created subtask using Variables. That will allow you to copy the parents’ task values of custom fields to the subtask being created. It will only work within the creation and will not update when the parent task’s value is changed in a later stage.
