Summary:
Subitems need the increased functionality of main Items to realize their full potential.
Detail:
I’d like to set up different Views beyond the Main Table View for a board that uses Subitems but they can’t be accessed. Only Items in Item Groups appear available for viewing.
I’d also like to set up Notification Automations for a board with subitems but, again, the available Automations only reference the main Items in Item Groups, not the Subitems under Items. For example, a People column and Date column within a Subitem cannot be linked from the Automations menu and therefore no Notification Automation can be created for the tasks I have built into Subitems.
Is there a plan to more fully integrate Subitems into the functionality available to primary Items?
Having more options to use Subitems as another functional layer of hierarchy under Items would dramatically improve their usefulness. Thanks in advance for considering.
Hi @GUM - thanks for sharing these details about your workflow! I definitely understand how increased subitem functionality would be helpful in these situations.
Support for subitems within the different board views and automations are both in planning, so we hope to roll out these out by the end of Q3. You can find our full subitem road map here: Subitem Product Plan
Hi Monday team, I was following this thread and noticed on the product roadmap, automations on subitems was due for Q3 2020 - any update to the plan here? Thanks!
Yes…that one is on me…I needed to better understand the details of creating these…It doesn’t do “When SubItem Date Passes set Subitem status to something”…
I didn’t realize you could do it When Date Arrives and set when to 5pm so effectively it doesn’t do anything until the end of the business day…
Just kind of have to play around with the logic that you use to find the path through to what you are trying to accomplish…
