Boards: Subtasks

Use a Subtasks field to show parent and child records in the same table. Child rows appear under their parent with indentation. The relationship connects records from the same table.

Nest a row under another row

Add a Subtasks field. In a table with manual row order, drag a row onto the middle third of another row to make it a child. Drop on the top or bottom third to place it before or after that row.

On a phone, press and hold a row to pick it up, then drag it onto the middle of the row that should be its parent. You can also select a row and press Tab to nest it under the previous row. Press Shift+Tab to move it up one level, alongside its parent.

The table prevents a record from becoming a child of its own descendant. Use a row’s expand or collapse control to show or hide its children. The relationship remains in the Subtasks field when rows are collapsed.

Check progress

When the table has a status field with a Done status group, the Subtasks field shows how many child records are done out of the total. For example, 2/3 means two of the three child records have a Done status.
