More efficient solution for mass-updates of sub-items

I agree that subitem templates could use this feature (as well as many others). So this feature gets my vote.

As a potential short term workaround there recently was added the ability to have dependencies on subitems. Which I’ve not had the chance to play around with, but that may help your case with updating 1 date on subitems to then waterfall to the other dates. after a quick test it seems to work with a couple examples.

  1. I added a dependency column to subitems
  2. Link to the relevant start date (which is ‘Test’)
  3. set up an automation to adjust subitem date based on dependent on column changes.

Voila, it at least worked for my small sample test.
See the screenshots and let me know if that works for you!
