Is there a way to make the “Parent” field on Tasks editable? 

It would be extremely helpful to be able to add a parent to an existing task. Or change the parent task after the task is saved. 

 

HI @Ross 

It is not currently an editable field. The only way that anything will go there is when you create a Related Task on that current task. 

 


Do you know if it can be made to be editable through a customization to our instance?

Is there a reason it is not editable that I am not thinking about?

 


This isn’t technically solved. Can this topic be marked as open again?

We are still unable to edit the parent task.

 

We use tasks a LOT. For things like onboarding and offboarding employees and equipment. We have 20 to 40 tasks that need to be created as “related tasks” (tasks with a “Parent Activity”/ Parent Task) for each “Parent Task” we create. We can import as many tasks as we want from a spreadsheet, but the import WONT allow you to assign a parent task. Therefore, we have to MANUALLY enter hundreds of tasks a month.

Its unnecessarily tedious. 

At a minimum, can this be added to a suggestion for the next upgrade?


@Ross We can enable this field through a customization. If you'd like to proceed, feel free to let me know, and I'd be happy to assist with the implementation.

Thank you @Naveen Boga, your customization works great and working with you was a pleasure.
