When I create an item, I populate a number of fields including tags. I would like to automatically create subitems, one for each tag present. These subitems would have the same columns as the main item, but would each be a subset of it.
Specifically, this is for languages. I create an item to track a translation project, which includes multiple languages (tags). I would like to track each language independently, but it doesn’t make sense to manually create, say, 20 subitems for each item.
It doesn’t seem possible to do this right now, but I think this would be a useful functionality for anyone who needs to track the individual components of a larger task.
We developed an app that solves this exact pain point of subitems inherting column value from parent. It’s called Subitem Automations and it allows to do this on subitem creation and when the parent item changes, here’s an example -
On creation - Populate item’s data into its subitems in a seamless way
