I can't figure out subtasks

[novomaisky]

As the title of my post says, I can't figure out subtasks. I can't figure out how to create one. Pressing the keyboard shortcut "s" does nothing. Also, can new tasks be created only when one is viewing an entire queue, as opposed to creating one when I'm viewing the task one searched for? There is no "Add Task" button in this view. It seems clunky at best to have to show the entire queue (not the results of a search), add a task from there, move it manually to the task you want it to be subordinate to, and then make it a subtask. It can't be this difficult -- I must be missing something. Thanks.

Greetings.

At this time, you can only create a new task directly in a queue under "My Queues" or through the Quick Add feature. Smart Queus and saved searches extract information from those views, meaning they are not capable of adding additional tasks.

I cannot speak to the shortcut not working, but you can manually make any task a subtask of another by moving it underneath the "Parent task" and then clicking the indent option on the task you want to make a "Child" of the "Parent".

Hi there - 

For the shortcuts to work, you should NOT be in a text field (such as the description or notes of a task).

See this video which shows how to use shortcuts on the "current" task:

Hi There - 

Sorry to dig an old thread out. But the shortcut to Subtask is not appearing to work on Smart Queues. Any suggestions ?

Hi Pradheep - 

It's not possible to create subtasks while in a Smart Queue - (no buttons exist, and the keyboard shortcuts don't work).

If you need to create a subtask on task in a Smart Queue, you can go to the Task Overview for that task and then you will be able to create subtasks.

See here for full details:

I hope this helps,

Cameron
