Hi :) As great as TDL is, it sure does not have a great search engine for it's help or forums, AFAICS. Anyway, I've searched, and am sure this has been asked a million times, but no joy.

Question:
How to make a new subtask automatically take on the field properties I had set on the parent?

Thanks for your time,
Chris

Which field properties are not being inherited by the subtask?
A subtask will inherit the Folder and Context of the parent.

Search for the Questions forum for "subtask inherit" and you'll get several hits.

Ah, that's the ticket!!!
Thanks JPR.

I forgot about this setting, which was introduced on September 23, 2010.

The Help topic Explanation of Subtasks does not mention inherited attributes.
