Card View - Sub Tasks

Sid Desai

Is there a way to populate sub-tasks of a particular task in smartsheet in Card View? I'd like to be able to see all sub-tasks under my main task and check on the progress of each of these sub-tasks.

Hi Sid— there isn't a way to display hierarchical relationships in Card view but I'll pass your feedback for this type of functionality along to our Product team. 

 

As a potential workaround, you can insert a new text/number column in your sheet and enter the name of your parent task in this column for the child tasks. You can even place a formula in the column, such as JOIN(ANCESTORS()) or a variant. (Check out our Help Center article on formulas for more info: https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/775363-using-formulas)

 

You'll want to include this column for display in Card view by clicking the Fields button in the upper-right corner.

Is there any update for including this feature soon? It's a real pain-point on our team

Hi Kaylin,

 

We don't currently have this functionality or a timeframe for when you might see this in the application, but I've got your vote down for this to increase visibility of demand for our Product team.

Thanks Shaine. My vote x ~20 on my team

Is there any update on this? We are new to smartsheets and this is a request that was immediately noted by our developers.

This has my vote as well!

I am a migrant from Trello, and I loved the Checklist functionality there. After I imported my Trello board to Smartsheet, all my Checklist items in each card now are their own cards, and this is just useless in Card View.
