It would be really great if we could have subtasks in the tasks tool. We do a lot of webinar series in which the campaign needs to be separated into episodes with subtasks. It applies to a lot of other projects as well. Another thing that would be nice is more options for task types. Webinar, event, etc? Also, why do all tasks require a due date? Some of our tasks just do not require one and it would be nice to bypass that. ---

Hello @brianna1239, I completely agree, we should definitely have the possibility to add subtasks to our tasks rather than overloading the views with “queues”. ---

I’m really surprised that subtasks are not available, we have a series of tasks that are part of a single pipeline stage process and instead of having one task with several subtasks show up in the task queue, it currently comprises of 10 separate tasks, overloading the task queue. Subtasks and the ability to set a task without a due date are must-have features to efficiently scale. ---

Just the option to group tasks and give the group a name please. We have repair tickets and inside one repair request there are multiple products that are repaired by several departments. We would like to have groups with tasks here and the option to assign those groups to different people. ---

Agreed, this seems like a basic need. sub tasks are standard. assigning team members 100 tasks vs. 10 with 5 each is a big difference. you also can’t group them by deal (to my knowledge) ---

Agree this is a must do! Not sure why this function is not currently avaliable. ---

Hubspot team, can we please receive a status update on the tasks feature as a whole? Task functionality is beginning to feel outdated and we are having to consider adopting additional task management systems as a result of subtasks and some other basic-level task-tracking functionality that is currently not available within Hubspot. Subtasks and the creation of tasks without due dates are a minimum ask to deter us from migrating to using a siloed system outside Hubspot. AI-based task management platforms are starting to emerge at a rapid pace and just a few additions within Hubspot will allow users to stay within the Hubspot ecosystem, which is ideal.
