 Hi 

In my plan I have top-level workitem as a planitem & it has multiple plan items as child to which Tasks are acting as child.

When i close the Task  i want few custom attribute values & Links to move up into the Top-level workitem

How can i achieve this ?

Hi, what do you need this for?

Maybe you could design a query which would ask on the children of the workitem so that "If Parent -> Child and Child.attribute1 exists and Child.status == closed then...." or anything like that?

Then only Parent with a child containing these links or attributes would show up in the query!?

Just a thought...
