Sub-Tasks should have the same due-date as parent tasks, by default
Of course it is great to have the possibility of different due-dates, but usually the Sub-tasks will have the same due-date as the parent task. It is very annoying to set the due-date for each individual subtask (as it can not be done while creating them, only later). This also introduces a problem with Google Calendar integration, as the "date-less" subtasks are not shown properly.
The easiest solution would be to give sub-tasks automatically the same due-date of the parent task (with the option to edit it of course)

I think it has to be opposite. For some tasks (long term) , subtasks must have due dates. Otherwise you can't spread task for longer period than one day.

When syncing with another program that does not support subtasks, subtasks are seen as tasks without date and dont show in agenda. While I can assign a date to subtask I need to go into task setting and manually edit each subtask which is incredibly time consuming especially if you have a lot of tasks with a lot of subtasks.

Create a sub task whose due date has a dependency on the
Parent's due Date (e.g. child/sub task's due date is 8 weeks
before parent's due date ?). For example, Parent Task Due Date is (say 30 November);
Child Task A due date is 2 weeks before
Child Task B due date is 4 weeks before
If Parent Task Due Date is changed, then Child Task Due Dates
are changed automatically. Additionally, a template could be created if there are many such Parent-Child dependent tasks. -

2. when a subtask get browed, thew tile should show together with its main tile like Main-Sub or Main/Sub.
