Can a field from a task be carried into a subtask and automatically be updated when the task is updated?

If we assign a due date (for example) for a task and also add the due date field to a subtask, is there a way to link the fields so that when one is updated it updates the other? If this is possible, does it only apply to certain field types? Thanks.

Jira's issues are all separate entities really. Subtasking is a special link which allows the time tracking on subtasks to roll up to the parent and shows the relationship between child/parent issues, but it does nothing more than that.

So, no. You'll need some coding to handle that.
