How to create a sub-task

Sub-task

A sub-task lets you break down your main task into smaller, manageable units of work. You can create sub-tasks to organize minor activities under a main task.

Create a sub-task

There are two ways to create a sub-task:

1. From the task drawer

• Open the task drawer by clicking on a task.
• Navigate to the Sub-tasks section.
• Click the Add sub-task button.
• Type the sub-task name and press Enter.
• Click on the sub-task to open it and add or modify details, similar to a normal task.
• You can have up to 3 levels of nested sub-tasks.

2. From the task list view

• In the task list view, click the > icon before the task name on the main task.
• The Add sub-task option will appear.
• From here, you can add a sub-task in the same way as creating a normal task - type the name and press Enter.

Identify tasks with sub-tasks

• In the task list, you can identify tasks that have sub-tasks by the number indicator shown on the right side of the task name row.
• Click the > icon on the left side before the task name to expand and view the sub-tasks.

Sub-task details

When you open a sub-task, you can configure it with the same attributes as a normal task, including title, status, phase, assignees, due date, time estimation, priority, labels, billable, description, dependencies, attachments, and comments.

Note: The parent task’s progress is automatically calculated based on the sub-task progress and status.
