What this feature does
Subtasks allow you to divide larger tasks into smaller pieces of work. This helps you manage detailed workflows while keeping everything connected to the main task.
Subtasks can be nested up to five levels deep, allowing you to organise work at the level of detail you need.
With subtasks you can:
Nest subtasks under any task up to five levels deep
Add subtasks inline with title, assignee, and date fields
Use the AI-powered draft subtasks feature to generate starting suggestions
See subtask counter badges on parent tasks
Navigate the full task structure using breadcrumb navigation
Mark subtasks as complete directly from the task details
Drag and drop tasks to reparent them under other tasks or phases
How to add a subtask
Log in to BuildPass Admin.
Open the project containing your schedule.
Open the Schedule.
Select the task where you want to add a subtask.
Click Add subtask.

Nesting tasks using drag and drop
Tasks can be nested under other tasks to create subtasks.
Open your Schedule.
Click and drag a task.
Drop it under another task to create a nested subtask.
Viewing and navigating subtasks
Parent tasks display a subtask counter badge that shows how many subtasks exist beneath them.
Clicking the badge allows you to navigate through the subtask hierarchy. Breadcrumb navigation inside task details shows the full structure of nested tasks.
