Hi Zoltan Komaromy welcome to the Community! May I please kindly ask you to elaborate a bit more on your request so we can better understand your case? Currently, it is possible to automatically create subitems or subitems from blueprints via automation rules. Is this something similar to what you are trying to achieve?
 
Looking forward to your reply!

Hi Juna, 

I have Production blueprint project what contains few tasks (designing, manufacturing, packaging etc).

I would like to write the details (size, printing colors, qty etc) into the main project's description and it should copy into every tasks' description.

Why it would be good? 

Because every department check their assigned task (for example packaging) only and would know the details about project. 

At this moment they had to open the main project for infos. 

I hope you understand my opinion.

Hi Mike, thank you for the additional details! A workaround for this would be to create a Text type custom field called "Description" or similar, include the relevant data into the field and then copy this information to the tasks by dragging the corresponding cell in the New Table View.
 
Would this be an option for you? If you have any additional questions, please let us know 👍

Hey, Zoltan Komaromy! 

In our account, we created the projects and tasks from requests forms and we included all the details. Based on this new item, I used this automation: 

Select a folder > Other - New item > Do this - duplicate with subitem 

Using this steps, you can select what you can copy for subitem. 

I work in portuguese Wrike version, but I hope this idea helped you.
