When a parent item is marked 'done' (ie date put in done date field) I suggest you be prompted on whether you want to mark all children as done also.

I think it's an excellent idea.
But instead of having it for th done field only, it could be an option for all fields in the field management window.
 
The option would be a check box that would say something like "Prompt to propagate data modification to children."

Yep, that would be a great idea Armando and cover it perfectly.  Actually, the option would say "Propagate data modification to children" with another checkbox saying "Prompt before propagating" or whatever.  Some people might want it to do that by default, it's a similar type of function to the inheritance but different in purpose.

How about something simple like: Click here if you also want to modify all the sub items (or children)?
Most people don't talk like "propagate data modification to children"

Agree re: wording Jan.  But it should be setup as field options as per Armando's suggestion (along with the prompt option), that makes much more sense as it is sensible for some fields and would be a pain in the butt for others!
