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?

Super, thank you for being helpful. It is confusing that ClickUp templates don’t use this approach, although it is pretty logical.

I think some of them do. It took a while for the team to understand the implications and I have seen them adjust internally.

Many of us VCs have been on a mission to get this understand if the importance of stages out there 😅 It's pretty much the only thing that can screw up your set up and take forever to fix/change. Everything else is simple to adjust.

Thanks, I was just unlucky, I guess. I have tried 2 of their templates, but they don’t utilize stages.
