Automation to sync release dates with roll-up release

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

• 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

  • Add the ability to set the release start date and end date to be based on its roll-up release

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
