Hi @anon83602071!

  1. Automatically update subtask names based on changes to the main task name.

This is currently not possible, I suggest you to add your vote here: Possible to create a dynamic task name for task based on routines

  1. Automatically generate/waterfall subtask due dates based on changes to due dates for earlier subtasks, or based on preset timing rules, like a gantt chart

  2. Automatically assign each subtask to a particular person, depending on the type of subtask. Perhaps if the template is pre-assigned to a specific person, can that assignment translate over to the new task?

  3. Automatically populate the template for each new task that’s created on this board instead of duplicating the task?

You can have a look at this thread, I believe you can achieve some of these points with the Flowsana integration: Automatically add subtasks from a template, auto-create new projects, automate your tasks from a project end date - new in Flowsana

  1. Automatically move a project to different columns depending on specific subtask completion?

You can achieve this using Rules, please first make sure to add the subtasks to the project.
