Allow Setting default values for Subitems

Allow setting default values for subitems. There are several requests for the same since 2021 but there has been no update so resurfacing the feature request again.

Hey @skmdc , I’d love to work with you on this problem! I’m a new developer and am looking for a good first project to get started on. Is there a specific way you’re thinking this should look like in the UI? feel free to DM me as well :slight_smile:

I would suggest just adding another option in the same menu just like there is today for the parent items using the Options menu (… at the top right corner of the board)

The option could be called - Default subitem values

Hey @skmdc

We developed an app that solves this exact use case in 3 different ways.

First, setting default values based on the items name see below (this is an example, you can use pretty much any column) -

Second, inheriting the date from the parent item -

Third, just a default value based on creation date -

You can find it in the monday.com marketplace in the platform or here - Subitem Automations - monday.com Marketplace

Hope that helps!
