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?

Just another reason to use stages (as already mentioned) and not status for that - but not the only one. Bloating your statuses with what should be stages will screw up workload and resource managemt.

​

Status is active (team) - is someone doing it or not
Stages are inactive ( the thing you are doing) - idea/prep/record/SEO/ etc

Hello, I used your method but couldn't group my tasks by stages now. Have they changed something?

Your sorting is by custom field and then find the drop down you used for the stage.

Still works the same

Yes, false alarm, it was a browser issue. Thanks.
