Add a New Task with all the sub rows

edited 12/09/19 in Smartsheet Basics

I have a sheet where I have all my projects and then sub categories indented underneath it. Is there a way I can easily add a new project that will create automatically add the sub categories?

    No, at least not inherently within Smartsheets. To circumvent this we keep a template at the top of our sheets that we can copy to create new "projects." You would just have a blank project with no dates and all the durations and dependencies set up. Then you can just highlight and copy the rows to create a new project.  

  • I add a column with the sub tasks listed as a multi select drop down. Then use that to track the status of the sub tasks. It's an easy way to track deliverables for each row but does not enable all the features of a true sub task…
