Subtasks & Checklists
Not every step needs to be its own task. My First Task gives you both: real subtasks for work that needs an owner and a due date, and simple checklist items for everything smaller.
How It Works
Break down a large task into subtasks
Each subtask is a full task in its own right — its own assignee, due date, priority, and status — nested under its parent.
Or add checklist items for smaller steps
A lightweight, ordered checklist lives inside the task itself for steps that don't need independent tracking.
Track completion either way
A parent task's progress reflects both its subtasks and its checklist, so nothing gets marked done early.
Why It Matters
Frequently Asked Questions
How many levels of subtasks can I nest?
Subtasks nest one level under a parent task — deep enough to break work down without turning the board into a maze.
Do checklist items support due dates or assignees?
No — checklist items are intentionally lightweight. If a step needs its own owner or due date, make it a subtask instead.
Does completing all subtasks auto-complete the parent?
The parent task's status is set independently, so you decide when the overall task is actually done.
