Auto prefill my custom field ( in Subtasks)

I like this idea. I use a custom field for percent complete. If I mare a task done or complete, I would love the percent complete field to populate 100%. Maybe an easy if/then statement. 

This would help our team save time as well!

Hi guys, thanks for the posts here. I've brought it to the attention of the Product Team and I'll report back here when I have more info.

Keep voting and providing use cases, they're really important to the team when trying to understand how a new feature like this would be implemented 👍

Do you have more info about it ? 

It seems this option would help many customers :) and save a lot of time to the users. Until now I have to ask my user to always check these fields and they tink it's reaaly annoying to do it two or even three times. So in the end, they don't even fill them anymore which is not acceptable for us. As we based reports on them..

Are you still considering this option ?

Thank you very much

The custom fields should also have default values. For example when a task is brand new the percent done should default to zero.

My use case would be in autofilling custom tags based on a tag in a certain space. 

We manage lots of companies and we need each item tagged to both the department and the entity, however you cannot pull reports etc based on a for example all marketing tasks for entity X. If we could auto populate the custom field with either department or entity then we could more easily pull these reports with out duplications. I do realize I could have people manually do this in the custom field, but we have a lot of non tech savvy folks so I'd prefer to just have them tag things in one place instead of two.

I would love to be able to auto fill a custom field with the last comment or with a specific tagged comment to create a downward view of work.

Hi everyone! No updates for now; but all the feedback is being passed on. I'll drop back here when I have any news.

Hi Lisa!  4 years have passed. Is there already any progress by now? 

Hi Tanja Stölzl, welcome to the Community, and thank you for checking in here. There are no updates for the moment, we'll be sure to let you know if anything changes👍🏼

I would really appreciate this as well! One of our custom fields is Brand, and it's harder to run reports if the custom field isn't populated for all sub tasks within the main project. I have to physically go to each subtask and populate it with the correct brand in order to get accurate reports.

Adding our vote to this too.

Hi Marie Cortes, thank you for commenting and explaining your use case here. And Tara Dragon, thanks for the upvote! We'll make sure to forward your feedback to the relevant Product Team 👍
