Subtasks

Subtasks allow breaking down larger tasks into smaller, manageable pieces. You can create new subtasks or link existing tasks as subtasks.

#Create a Subtask

To create a new subtask:

1. Open the task by clicking on its card to view task details.
2. Click the task menu button (⋮) at the top-right.
3. Select "Add Subtask".
4. A new subtask will be added below, prompting you to specify its title and details.

#Create Subtask From Selected Text

When a task description already lists what needs to be done, you can turn any part of it into a subtask:

1. Open the task and select text in its description.
2. In the formatting menu above the selection, click the subtask button.
3. The subtask is created in the same project and appears in the Subtasks section of the task.

A short single-line selection (for example, a list item) becomes the subtask title. A longer or multi-line selection is saved as the subtask description instead.

You stay on the parent task after creating, so you can keep selecting other lines to break the task down into more subtasks.

#Link Existing Task as Subtask

If a relevant task already exists and should be part of another task as a subtask:

1. Open the parent task to view its details.

2. Click the task menu button (⋮).

3. Choose "Link Subtask".

4. Use the search field to find and select the task you wish to link.

5. The selected task is now linked as a subtask.

#Unlink Subtask

To unlink a subtask from its parent:

1. Open the subtask to view its details.

2. Click the task menu button (⋮).

3. Choose "Unlink From Parent".

4. The task will be unlinked from its parent and will no longer be a subtask.
