Is it possible for the Parent Task dates to automatically update according to the child dates?

[Kristine Gemici]

In Jira Software, the board settings can be changed so that the parent task will automatically populate once the child tasks are entered on the timeline... Does Jira Work Management also have this feature? If so, how can this be updated?

Hi @Kristine Gemici ,

I don't think this is implemented. But I believe you should be able to create automation rule to set the dates to the parent issue.
