When you **Lock** a field in an EditEngine form, the lock is strict. In particular, using prefilling or templating does not change the value of the locked field, so if you create a subtask using a form with some fields locked, those fields will not inherit values from the parent task.
Additionally, field values do not merge. If you set a form to add project "A" by default, and subtask a task tagged "B", you get only "B" (not "A, B") on the new subtask.
There are two alternate behaviors we //could// consider:
- **Soft-Locked**: We could lock the control in the UI, but allow prefilling, templating, or both to change the value.
- **Mergeable**: We could mark (or change the behavior of) the "Tags" and "Subscribers" fields so they combined the form defaults and any prefilled/templated values.

// Original Description //
after the ApplicationEditor changes, creating a subtask no longer copies the project from the super task
