Have subtasks made it on to the roadmap yet? Surprising the team has not prioritized this...

Jo Pearl: We know how interesting and useful this can be but we are considering a lot of factors before we decide to start working on this but realllyyyyy hoping it will be in the near future!

+1 to this. This would compliment the new weekly/monthly horizons quite nicely!

Agree with the fact that not all tasks are just independent. We need a way to make a task, imported from gmail for exemple, a subtask of another one. Otherwise the task list is just a mess ! And could we have a progress bar showing how much of the subtasks are done...

The same for me, I was on a recent webinar and said that there are features under review that could lean me towards switching to Akiflow 5 years subscription. Subtasks is a one of those things, to be honest I'm eagerly reading each changelog and trying to see there some good implementation of subtasks, like dividing a big task into small "eatable" pieces, concrete checkpoints to see the task progress. Unfortunately, the current checklists in the task description are nowhere near to say they are suitable for this purpose. But, anyway, Thanks for releasing time slots some time ago and recent mobile checklists, although it's not the same, but at least smth.
Just for inspiration, I think checklists/subtasks in TickTick is where that app did a great job. (especially in mobile version)

Mykhailo Talashov: Thank you for this! This will greatly help us in checking how we can implement this if our devs will decide to start working on this.

I've paid for Akiflow (annual) before realizing that subtasks aren't an option. Coming from Sunsama because some of the Calendar options and easier task capture felt good in my flow - but the lack of subtasks is really a deal breaker. The way that they (sunsama) are able to run tasks as multi-day options AND have subtasks means I'm actually handling my workflow and workload in a more honest and maintainable way.
Seeing that this is a feature that people have been asking for for 3ish years is a bit of a bummer, it's such critical functionality to a platform that "Every personal to-do, every work task and those surprise meetings.
Beautifully organised in your calendar!"

Kate Dole: Hi Kate! We do have couple work arounds on how to replicate a subtasks by using a task description and Time Slot. I can check this with you on a call. If you can book a call here below, I'd be happy to show you:

I really need this feature, having between 50 and 100 projects (GTD)... Already any plans on when you will plan this?
Jeson P
Jonathan: We cannot provide an ETA but are designers are already checking on this and will update the status for any progression!

I made a workaround for this until your team creates this.
I create a #Project and I create a Section of the Main Task I want to work on and create my Subtasks there.

Hey Stefania! Any update on Subtasks timeline? Y'all are doing a great job and I know everything has dominoes. I know for me personally, this has been the primary downside to using akiflow and feels important for workflows. I've tried to switch to other apps that have this capability, but I have to keep coming back to akiflow because it's so much better.
Thanks!

Coleman: Hi! We cannot give any details or update about this yet our designers will surely revisit this if we need ideas on how to improve the task creation feature.

Merged in a post:
Import all subtasks or checklist items from 3rd party task software like Trello asana jira notion etc

Should be able to import task checklists that are associated with imported task from any third party integrated app and see them underneath the task or when task is opened as checklist items for the task and operate like subtasks the way Sunsama does. It sure would be nice not to have to navigate away from the app to check off my checklist and subtasks ya know what I mean.
