When changing a parent work item's state, users can opt in to cascade the same state to direct sub-work items via a confirmation modal. Backend propagation resolves equivalent states across projects and logs activity. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change adds a propagation prompt for issue state updates. The frontend submits the selected option, and the API resolves and applies compatible states to authorized direct sub-issues. Tests cover permissions, state resolution, timestamps, and activity logging. ChangesSub-issue state propagation

116-118: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winLog the propagation update error.
The catch block discards the error. Preserve it in application logs before showing the generic toast.
As per coding guidelines, “Use try-catch with proper error types and log errors appropriately for error handling.”

In `@apps/api/plane/app/views/issue/base.py`:
- Line 634: Validate or normalize propagate_state_to_sub_issues as a Boolean
before it is removed from request.data and used for propagation, ensuring string
values such as "false" cannot evaluate as truthy; preserve the existing default
of False and add request-level coverage for false-like invalid values.
In `@apps/web/core/hooks/use-group-dragndrop.ts`:
- Around line 101-119: The drop handler in use-group-dragndrop.ts currently
applies cycle or module changes before the propagation prompt completes,
allowing canceled drops to partially persist. Stage all fields from data,
including cycle/module changes, until the prompt result is known; on a canceled
drop, dispatch nothing, and when only propagation is canceled, explicitly
persist the remaining drop data through the existing updateIssue flow.
In `@apps/web/core/store/issue/propagate-state.store.ts`:
- Around line 23-28: Update prompt in the propagate-state store to settle any
existing prompt before replacing promptData: resolve the currently stored prompt
with null when present, then assign the new subIssuesCount and resolve callback
so every returned Promise settles.
