Subtasks in Microsoft Lists?

Copper Contributor

I'm new to Microsoft Lists, and I see some great potential there.

 

One thing I'd like to be able to do, using the Assignment Tracker and/or Issue Tracker options, is to attach subtasks to primary assignments. Is there a way to do that?

 

For those familiar with Jira, I'm hoping to be able to use MS Lists much like Jira for work assignments and bug tracking.

Only way that comes to my mind is to do this by means of another list linked to your main list by means of a lookup field

That is how I did it:

1 - create a new radio choice column called "Project name"

2 - the values you can select will call like the main project (ex. build the car)

3 - create all the tasks as single items and assign to all of them "build the car"

4 - in the column "Project name" left click and select Group by Project Name

 

The name of the project will appear in bold and all the tasks with the indentation like:

 

Build the car

   engine

   tire

   drive test

 

Works for simple projects, for more complex maybe conditional formatting will do

Using this. Thank you SO much! I have been trying to find some sort of solution and this will work!

I've tried to set this up as per the instructions, but it is not working for me. @leedalton or @FabioPlos  - are you able to upload a video for me so I can follow and identify what step I am missing?  Thanks!
