Change Action card status without changing Subaction status

Currently, when you change the Status of an Action, it changes the Status of all the Subactions under it. But when you have different people working on an Action in different phases, it doesn't make sense for a change in Status to apply for all Subactions. It ends up being confusing and misleading information. When changing a status at the Action card level with Subactions underneath, it would be great to have a popup asking if you want the change in Status to affect all the Subactions. Hive does this in other functions, why not for this too?

Yes please! We have one person overseeing the main action but several others assigned to subactions. Sometimes Hive asks if I want to change the subactions but sometimes it does it automatically. Just don't change it or ask. Let us assign who we want to subactions.

Francie Sanderson: We have a similar situation with subactions typically having their own assignees, statuses, labels, etc. You may want to upvote the following feature requests:

Yesterday, a team member marked a parent action with ~30 subactions, of which only seven had been completed, as complete by mistake. I had to open every subaction, look into its history to find out whether it had been completed before or not and adjust its status. It happens at least once every month.

I've found that sometimes Hive does NOT auto change all the subactions beneath it (such as when I'm changing statuses in Table view sometimes), and it would be great if there was a project-level setting that let you select if you wanted it to update all subaction statuses whenever you update the main action card status. I would prefer if it wasn't a pop up as someone who is constantly changing statuses, especially since i know people on my team do not read the pop ups... a set setting would be much better.

Kelley Bunge: Would it make sense to also look at https://hiveteams.canny.io/feature-requests/p/at-creation-subaction-status-not-tied-to-parent-action while you are at it?

Merged in a post:
When moving a parent action's status, prompt an option to update all sub-subaction's statuses

Currently, if the parent action and sub-subaction does not have the same status. Moving the status of a parent action does not update the sub-subaction status.
Please offer an option to update all lower level action's status to be same as the parent action.

Yes Please. I have to go back in all task and change them from in progress to avoid the next person starting early thinking they started it already.

I think this request can be marked as complete?

Maria Steger: At the moment we only prompt if the parent and subaction have the same status! Looks like this request is asking for us to still prompt even if they don't have the same status.

Are you sure about this? I just tested it. I got prompts even if parent and subactions did not have the same status.
