    Leonel GUZMAN I don't think you can achieve this with SharePoint on its own, you need to look at doing this with a flow in Power Automate. It would create the "child" item in the separate list when the parent item is created, and you'd need a ParentID column in the child list for the ID of the parent to be populated. Then when the parent is updated it can update the child based on a filter query on the ParentID column eq ID.
