Merge Sub-Item Parent Summary Timeline with Item Timeline if no Sub-Items Present

On our team’s primary board, we have both items and sub-items. We currently have our sub-item timelines summarized on the parent item, but if an item has no subs, we need to create an additional Timeline column. This results in two side-by-side Timeline columns, where it would be helpful to have one merged column that either displays the sub-item summary timeline, or the items timeline if no subs are present, in one column.

I reached out to support and this is not currently possible with either a column or an automation.

We have the exact same issue in the other way around: we mostly have items with timelines information and sometimes we need to create sub-items with timelines information as well. If we want to have both timeline information at the item level, we need to have 2 columns.
It would be great to have the possibility to create sub-items with the same structure as items so that summary can be performed automatically.
