Automatically creating multiple tasks with UNIQUE subtasks?

English Forum Tips and Tricks
1

Hello! So I’m setting up a rule where if a task is added to a project, it will create 4 different tasks. What I would also like to do is create unique subtasks for each task. So if one of the tasks is “cook” I would like to automatically create a subtask called “preheat oven”, but for the task that’s called “clean” I would like to automatically create one called “wipe floors”.

I know I need to do this all in one rule but I’m wondering how to automatically add certain subtasks individually to tasks without doing it manually. Let me know if this doesn’t make sense and I appreciate the help!

Hi @A.J_Ort and welcome to the forum,

In the “Create a task” rule action, click the “View all fields” button in the right-hand pane, then scroll down to the bottom of the pane. You’ll see an “Add subtask” button which is what you’re looking to be able to do.

I think you may need to add a custom field to your main tasks with your options:cook, preheat oven, etc. Then your rule would be Check if custom field = x (e.g. “clean”), create subtasks (e.g. “wipe floors”).
