I use custom fields to organize projects step by step, and since you cant add multiple assignees to one task, i had to create subtasks to add each member of my team. but the problem is, when the project is in step 1, I set my custom field to step 1 and i want everyone to see that the project is in the step 1, but the custom field wont sync through all the subtasks allowing everyone to know what step the project is. I cant keep changing the custom field to each subtask manually one by one, thats a problem. ---
