I am trying to figure out how to add fields that appear under main task, to also appear under sub-tasks automatically.

Hi @Angus Smith 

You would need to have the field on the screen(s) used by the work item sub-task and make use of automation to copy these fields when a sub-task is created from the parent.

Hi Marc

Thank you for your answer. Here is an example of the main task with a view of the first 3 subtasks. I am trying to understand exactly what you mean. (I think in pictures)Prodjob-27907.jpg

Hi, @Angus Smith! 👋

In order to sync the sub-task with the parent task, you can use automation (presuming you have the same fields on the sub-task screen(s)).

For example, if you want to copy the assignee field from the main task, you can use the following logic:

You can customize the trigger and fields as necessary.

Hope this helps! ✨
