I use tasks regularly and although it somewhat works for me, it is lacking quite a few features compared to other apps I have used. One of those that is REALLY needed is the ability to add a child task off the parent (subtask). There is just no other way I can see to be efficient and organized like I would like.
For example, tasks and subtasks might look like this:
Example:
[ ] Parent task
[ ] Child task 1
[ ]Child task 2
[ ] Child task 3
Pretend that there is a check in Child task 2 box, which causes the strikeout to show that particular subtask, of the whole, is completed. When all tasks are complete (or perhaps even if all aren't) I could then check the parent task and that task would be "considered" complete - leaving possible child tasks incomplete. Sounds strange, but maybe my project changed and I didn't have to finish a subtask, or I didn't have time, but still need to mark the main task as being complete as it is going to be and still show what actually wasn't (no strikeout) if I ever had to go back and check. It and the child tasks would would then disappear from the screen (with a pending filter active) - just like what happens now with each completed task.
I could "kind of" do a workaround and use Sections as the Parent Task, but that would get so messy. Why not just allow subtasks like almost all other similar task apps do?

Not yet Amanda! If/when product advises more about subtasks, we'll let you know!

When was the last major Glip update?
We're a "new" RC partner in Australia, and it seems things are slow re Glip. We're using it internally. Sub-tasks would be great!

I have been wanting this feature for a long time. for us in the insurance industry tasks are pretty useless without adding sub-tasks and it's frustrating that we want to use it but can't.

I suspect that RC simply doesn't have the resources to get to all this, and unless there's a large Sale Opportunity, where such features are required, they simply won't allocate any resources for doing so.
