Hi,

Is there a way to set a rule that applies changes to certain custom fields of a task to their subtasks?

I am effectively looking to create a rule with a trigger associated with a task but the effect to associate with the subtasks.

Thank you.

Not currently, but I believe this feature is being considered. Go ahead and upvote the post here: The ability for custom fields to inherit parent task data!?

Also FYI this capability is available in the rule builder in our Flowsana integration.

If you’re on Enterprise plans, you can achieve this by using a script action within the rule editor.
