Subtasks in Microsoft Lists?
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.

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

- 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
