I think instead of automatically also clearing downstream tasks, maybe the modal from the grid/graph view should be displayed, giving the user the choice. For example:

@RNHTTR I removed the area:core label and put it area:UI. Please check if it sounds right.

I think that would be the ideal way though. It should not silently clear all the downstream tasks unless explicitly asked for.

I think we could discuss if it's a good idea to display the modal view from the List view.

Let's at least update this confirmation text to say that it includes downstream tasks?

Yes, this would be ideal. Not sure if we can reuse the same components unless we migrate this above screen to React?
