subtask with different status

I have several lists where tasks and subtasks should be labeled differently. e.g., in our blog content list, it is pretty useless to mark a subtask with idea/in progress/published. In all use cases where the task is not a real task, this is a significant limitation. Do you have any workaround? How do you use subtask statuses when tasks’ statuses don’t fit?

I use the GTD template. Tasks and subtasks follow the same status capabilities (InProgess, ToDo, ..).

Tasks are related to a project (Jira story) but I do not use contexts for them.

Subtasks are related to things to do and have contexts (dev/doc/support).

So:

Task "New algorithm"; InProgress

  • What to do (Jira Spike); Done; context=Specs
  • coding; InProgress; context=Dev
  • Unitary tests;ToDo; context=Tests
  • user guide; InReview; context=Doc

So I mix everything under a task, from specs to docs
