    <description>&lt;P&gt;Thought I’d add this, in case anyone else finds it helpful. Hopefully it makes sense.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We had an immediate need for establishing a parent/child relationship, so we developed sudo relationship using calculated fields and Fusion.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Currently we are using a process where we assign a parent project to each child, using a type ahead field on a custom form on each child project. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;IMG src="https://:0" /&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper" image-alt="0EM4X000002V77O.png"&gt;&lt;img src="https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/44108iF662A346A123A40C/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="0EM4X000002V77O.png" alt="0EM4X000002V77O.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Fusion will append the parent project number (We have Fusion generating custom sequential project numbers. For test project it does TESTXXXXXX) and project name to the Child project name. Using a view and grouping then shows us that relationship at the project level.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper" image-alt="0EM4X000002V77T.png"&gt;&lt;img src="https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/44335i586B2A3DC43B01CE/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="0EM4X000002V77T.png" alt="0EM4X000002V77T.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;It’s pretty basic, but gives us an extra level to capture data.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The next phase is getting child info to populate to the parent. In this case we have a custom form on each task of the parent project, and we again use a type ahead, this time assigning the child project to tasks on the parent.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;This custom form then pulls basic info from the child project to the associated task on the parent project (Calculated fields populate with Child Project ID, Child Project Status, Child Project Percent and child start and end dates).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;IMG src="https://:0" /&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper" image-alt="0EM4X000002V77Y.png"&gt;&lt;img src="https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/44972iCF2BD6F88DB2A206/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="0EM4X000002V77Y.png" alt="0EM4X000002V77Y.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;From here we have Fusion update the Parent task percentage and dates with whatever the child task percentage is and dates are, giving  the following results:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;IMG src="https://:0" /&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper" image-alt="0EM4X000002V77i.png"&gt;&lt;img src="https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/43693iD8EABC4FE2D65ABD/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="0EM4X000002V77i.png" alt="0EM4X000002V77i.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper" image-alt="0EM4X000002V77n.png"&gt;&lt;img src="https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/45184i43BC67BC4BC0C4C0/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="0EM4X000002V77n.png" alt="0EM4X000002V77n.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;IMG src="https://:0" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper" image-alt="0EM4X000002V77s.png"&gt;&lt;img src="https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/45202i35217C8E5B41607C/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="0EM4X000002V77s.png" alt="0EM4X000002V77s.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;IMG src="https://:0" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We’re still testing the child rollup to the parent, and the biggest issue so far is that the calculated fields need to be “kicked” to recalculate.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I apologize if this is duplicate but I did not see it anywhere. We have a need to create parent projects that would live between the Program level and the current project level. While I understand that the work could be completed in one project using parent/child tasks we have many departments that would prefer to have their projects tracked separately. There would be many child projects which would roll up to many parent projects and into ONE program. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I saw some talk about this on the Global forum but that was it. Please help me vote up this feature request!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thanks!!&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Sounds good to me!  We would LOVE to be able to see a summary level line for a related project.  e.g. Let's say you are managing project A.  Project A is dependent on the development of 2 software products.  These are being developed in Projects B and C.  &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;We would like to see two task-level lines in Project A which show the total project % complete and planned dates for projects B and C.  &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Cross-project predecessors are not sufficient because they only can indicate planned dates based on the relationship with the other project, not its completion.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thanks&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;We would like to have this ability as well. We have the same need as Michael (departments want to manage their own sub-projects that directly effect a parent project). &lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Yes please! This describes our current project structure and we are finding it difficult to migrate that structure into WF without the "Parent Project" level to organize children projects. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;And while Parent/Child Projects would address several of our challenges, we could also benefit from having subtasks that reside in a separate project than their parent.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Project A could have tasks 1, 2, and 3, each of which have subtasks that live in Projects B and C. Because projects B and C are managed separately and contain tasks not related to Project A, they would not technically be children projects of A, but would contain subtasks whose progress is calculated in tasks 1, 2, and 3 of A. Dependencies don't work because they don't reflect the actual progress of the children tasks. &lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Sounds like it. Thanks for sharing!  We just hit 45 votes on this request, I just noticed - way to go team!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The link Sara shared provides some good insight into a situation where more functionality on project hierarchy would be well-received!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I consider this the one MAJOR draw back of Workfront. Working for an in-house creative team, we want to be able to completely own schedules and projects. At the same time, other teams want/need to own their aspect of a project. Workfront has tons to offer, but to me this is an obvious drawback of the tool that should have been already addressed/fixed. The current configuration (even with portfolio and programs) doesn't work for most companies. Or at least not for companies that are trying to use Workfront across all departments/areas.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;This ask is becoming business critical for us.  The nature of our business and our operational evolution is getting us to the point where this is going to be necessary or we will in a pickle.  I would really like to know when this is added to the product road map.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Ditto here! I'm guessing we just need to deal with this via a task report and flags in the 'sub' projects.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I was told by the Product team that is not on the Product Roadmap for development. That might change next year. There is a Workfront Partner that is developing an solution that might be able to do the same thing. Of course, that will come with a cost. &lt;/P&gt;</description>
