What is the challenge?
Releases can have roll-up releases at the line level
Roll-up releases automatically set their child release's release date
release date
However, there is no way to sync a release's date range fields to match the roll-up release
What is the impact?
I have to update many child releases whenever a roll-up release is rescheduled.
Describe your idea
There are several ways that automations would need to be updated to support my use case:
TRIGGERS
Start/end date changes
Add support triggering automations by "Release start date" and "Release end date" changes
"When a release [is created or updated] and its [start date] changes to [anything]"
Roll-up release option
Add a "Roll-up release" option here: "When a release [is created or updated] and its [roll-up release] changes to [anything]
ACTIONS
Update the field
Add support for "Release start date" and "Release end date" in Release automations
Add the ability to set the release start date and end date to be based on its roll-up release
Update the related record
Add support for sub-releases
Ultimately, I should be able to do the following:
Automation 1
When a release is added to a roll-up release, set the release's start and end date to match the roll-up release's
Automation 2
When a roll-up release's start date and end date change, update the related record > sub-release > start/end dates to match
