[Status: Backburner ⏳] Feature Request - Time entry in sub-tasks needs to roll up to Parent Task
When we set up a project we have a custom field that contains a invoice milestone for each project task that is a client deliverable
We also estimate each resources time before the project starts so we can compare estimate vs actuals for each of the delivery tasks
Under a Task there may be several sub-tasks, but when someone enters time to a sub-task it doesn't roll up to the parent task.
This is an issue for us as we would like to compare our estimates, but the actuals will contain hours logged to sub-tasks that don't show up to the parent task.
Please let us know if this can be enabled (possibly using a check box that says, "Hours on sub-tasks roll up to parent task?"
Thanks
Hey folks, our team is currently working on this functionality, but we don't yet have an ETA. We'll keep you posted 👍

Lisa is this planned feature to roll up only efforts? Or will this also roll up Start and End dates for subtasks? If auto-date roll up is not planned, then i will start another thread and get that upvoted.
Right now subtask start and end dates for a task are completely independent of the start and end dates of its subtasks. It would be extremely helpful to be able to check and box and have these dates ALWAYS roll up. The wrike labs roll-up implementation makes it 100% manual which is frustrating!
I have no use for subtasks without this feature.
Hi Timothy Livingston! From my understanding, the team is planning more functionality involved in the future rollup function. But we will be able to share more detail when we're closer to the release.

Lisa - Is there any update on the feature this thread discusses?
Hi Thor Nickell, hope you don't mind me jumping in. As Lisa mentioned above, we'll be sharing more information as we have more updates coming from the team🙋🏻♀️
Leaning in to try to keep this moving forward. We really need this (very basic) ability to roll up subtask time entries to the task level.
I've been following this thread for a year now and figure it could use another bump. I want to be able to set a budgeted amount of time ("effort") on parent tasks and have the time tracked on child tasks "roll up" to count against that budgeted effort. Currently we have to either do all time tracking on the parent task, or split up the budgeted hours into all of the subtasks, which is not how we work.
I will not say something as silly as "this is very basic functionality" since I'm a software developer myself and understand how this feature request affects many systems. Just want to show my support.
Hi Cory Hughart, welcome to the Community, and thank you for bumping this thread 🙌🏼
we'd love to see this as well
Thank you for supporting this suggestion and welcome to the Community Kalocsai Kristóf!
Hello, I've been following this thread for some time now. Before it was marked "Coming soon" in March of 2022. Checking back to see if there has been any progress and/or an ETA?
Thanks
Hey folks! This is unfortunately taking more time than previously anticipated, but the team still has this on their plans. I'll change the status here to Investigating - I hope this will be less confusing for now. Thanks a lot for your feedback, and apologies for this news that may be unwelcome.

Adding some more support for this functionality! Currently in the initial set-up stage with Wrike, and we, too, are using Wrike for budgeting. We are actually developing some custom Wrike Integration features to bolster the ability to calculate effort, and then it becomes our total project budget estimate. But without this ability to roll up effort from subtasks into tasks, it will require more detailed effort on the users part to calculate everything, ensure there are no duplicates, or be left with tasks that show no effort.
Hi Michelle Chen, great to hear and I hope you're getting on well so far 🙂
Noted on your interest in this. As Lisa mentioned above, the team are looking in to this and we'll be sure to let you know here as soon as we have an update to share. In the meantime, if there's anything else we can help with please don't hesitate to ask 👍

We also need this! Not seeing how subtask time-tracking is effective without it. Has anyone found a good workaround?
This feature would improve our reporting process.
@..., unfortunately we need it at the task level, not project!
Hi folks, thank you for additional feedback here. We don't have an update for this suggestion at the moment as the team continues the research.

I have the same issue. Would like the Wrike to sum up subtask efforts/cost to the parent level. I find it frustrating, but also funny that 3,5 years have passed from the start of this thread, but this basic feature is still not implemented. Maybe you are missing a proper project management tool that helps to plan better so you get this feature done? Or just say that it will not be implemented in the coming years.
Hi Urmas Tiirik, welcome to the Community. Thank you for your comment, I understand that the option to roll up this data at the project level does not meet your needs and I have passed your feedback on to our Product Team.
This suggestion is being investigated by our team, which means that they are interested in implementing it and looking for options to achieve it. Unfortunately, not all suggestions can be prioritized as quickly as we'd like to, but please rest assured that we will keep you informed of any changes 👍
Also, I'd like to mention that you can check our New to Community forum to discover all the resources you can find in our Community 🙂
Please, let us know if there is anything else we could help with.
Hi all! Would love an update on this as it seems like a core functionality that would allow for better visibility into time entry and budgeting details.
This is a much needed functionality indeed!
Hi folks!
We checked with the responsible team, and for now, this is not planned by them due to other enhancements they are working on at the moment. I've updated the status here, but if we have any news in the future, we'll make sure to let you know 👍

This is a MUST HAVE functionality.
Please keep updated as soon as you have news about this topic.
Will do Luca Melandri. Welcome to the Community 👋

Ok Wrike - This is getting a little ridiculous. This one opened since January 2020, so over four years now, and appears on the back slide into 'the pit' of 'Backburner' now. A lot of commentors in this thread are more high-powered users than me, but my team could use this thus have been monitoring. Let's refresh...
So, either just really difficult or devs attention has turned to AI.
Anything you can really share on this?
Seems like it should be a high runner to me (and is way overdue to make a sprint). With the comments posted here about need, this feature will be glowingly accepted by the user community.
Have a great weekend!
Cheers - Thor
I am commenting again to share our company's continued interest in this functionality. A core functionality of Wrike is time tracking and pulling reports. Prioritizing this functional improvement over say, multiple UX design updates (many of which are certainly nice, but not always necessary) would be greatly appreciated!
