Integrations between parent and child cards

Hi, 

I'm looking to have parent or epic cards, with a number of smaller child or sub process cards underneath them. 

I've managed to set up a rule to create the child cards as they are added to a checklist, then use the {triggercardname} variable to tick them off in the original list when the card is marked as complete, works great! 

However, I'd like to have a different colour tag on each parent, and then have that tag transfer over to the child cards, so I can see which child cards are linked to which parents. 

The only way I can see of doing this is changing from "Create a new link card" to "convert the item to a linked card" this transfers the tag just fine. However, the issue with this, is it changed the checklist item to a hyperlink, meaning the {triggercardname} variable no longer works and the tick-back feature is broken. 

Is there any way I can have both??

Or is there any other way I can label the child cards so I know which parent they are from? I tried changing the card name at point of creation, but that breaks the tick-back feature too as the card name does not match the checklist item name.
