Subtasks should rollup to task progress bar

Description

We need the ability to have subtasks status to be captured in the parent tasks progress bar.

What are you trying to achieve

The show summary on parent is ok but it lacks the % complete number that my stakeholders are asking for. It is logical that if I have a task with 4 subtasks that if 2 of those subtasks are complete then I would see 50% in the parent tasks’ progress bar.

Hi Mike, Tom from monday :waving_hand: Thank you for your request!

If I understand correctly, you’re looking for a way to show the percentage of “Done” subitems in the parent item level. That ability already exists, if you hover over the bar of the subitem summary cell:

However, if you’re looking to show the percentage at all times without having to hover over the cell, there is a little workaround I can offer, using an automation and a formula column:

  1. On the subitem level, create a numbers column, and add a “summary in parent item” for it.
  2. Create an automation that sets the number to “1” when a subitem status changes to done.
  3. On the parent item level, create a Formula column, and set the formula to calculate the percentage of the done subitems (based on the sum of the numbers colum) out of the total number of subitems. Example:
    MULTIPLY(DIVIDE({Subitems Numbers}, {Subitems#Count}), 100)

Hope this helps!
