[Status: Backburner ⏳] Auto Fill values in Custom Fields
Hi,
I am looking to see if we can add a new functionality to Wrike. I want the values in the custom fields of the project to automatically fill in the values of the custom fields that are within the new tasks created within that project. I spoke with your customer support and they said that is currently not possible.
This functionality would be really great for us too.
We're creating new projects from request forms (which in turn duplicate blueprints) - so the custom fields are completed via the request form and then auto-populated at the project level, but the task custom fields are all left empty.
We need tasks within a project to auto-inherit custom field data, so that users and approvers have the detail they need on the tasks they're contributing to... but it's far too inefficient for the team to populate all of the task custom fields separately. So we're stuck!
Any help would be brilliant.

Hi Terminus Integration, welcome to the Community and thank you for adding your support here!
This improvement would also be very helpful for us! is there no way to solve this with an automation in the meantime?
Hi Bas Rijks, at the moment, autofill is not possible. I can recommend setting up a rule for @mentioning the followers if a custom field is empty but this will apply only checkbox or single select custom fields.
I'll pass on your feedback to the team, and we'll be sure to let you know if there are any updates here.
This would feature would also benefit my team greatly!

+1 really need this!!
How many upvotes are needed to make something move to the top of the list?
We'd use this heavily too -- Would be super helpful for us as we would like to use the Unito connector to pass custom field info in projects (collected via custom fields in an intake form) into custom fields within project tasks, then between Wrike tasks and Trello cards.
I've searched back and people have been asking for custom fields to cascade from projects to tasks since 2018. Can't believe the Wrike team isn't prioritizing this.

Voting up for this heritage proposal. Would be super helpful to fill task custom fields based on a project custom field.
Thank you for the upvote Raimund Dienst, I’ll make sure your comment is forwarded to the responsible team.
