Auto Assign Subtasks

darin_schnitzer

I am trying to use the Kanban view to allow a team to see a task with sub task checklists. Is there a way to auto assign the sub tasks by who is assigned to the parent task?

Hi Darin,

There currently isn't a way to automatically assign subtasks based on the assignment of the parent task. When you have a moment, please submit a Product Enhancement Request for this using the form under Quick links on the right of the community site.

Although the process is manual, one way that you can speed up the assignments of subtasks is by temporarily switching to the Grid view and drag-filling the assigned person down the cells on the child rows. More information on drag-fill is available in our help center: https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/518318-using-copy-paste#dragfill

Thank you Shaine. This was all I could come up with as well. We are trying to replace using Trello with SmartSheet and the checklist feature is so handy I have been trying to find a way of replicating it.

Hi, Mr Greenwood

I have the question is possible into card view/ subtask, the update status request to Assigned?

Hello—

You'll need to add a Status field to your sheet and pick the best type of field for your situation. You might start with a Dropdown list field, where you manually enter types of statuses for people to select from. More information on how to add fields to your cards can be found in our help center: https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/2449494-card-view-creating-editing-and-sharing-cards
