Updating the status of all sub-items, based on the parent item's status

Hi,

I would like to be able to update all of my sub-items to a completed status based on the completion of the parent item. I do not want to have to change the status of every sub-item individually. I have looked but there doesn’t seem to be a obvious solution to this.

Are you able to assist please?

Thanks

Matt

@mfysh any luck with this? I have a need to automate assigning dates and statuses of a subitem based on the status of the parent item, but I haven’t seen that this is possible

I’m in the same boat. It seems there are multiple variations of this question and I would hope a solution comes forward soon.

Hey Shelly & Joy!

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

On change - Being able to set dependency between a subitem to an item

There are also more advanced options with offset of dates -

It’s brand new (released last week) and we’re going to keep on adding new capabilities.

You can find it in the monday.com marketplace in the platform or here - https://monday.com/marketplace/10000287

Hope that helps!
