In the Quickly Add Subtasks modal, one subtask can be entered per line as subtasks of the chosen parent task.

  • Subtasks: Add a - or # immediately before the task name.
  • Sub-subtasks: Add a double -- or ## immediately before the task name.
  • Keep adding additional - or # to increase the subtask level.

At the bottom, you can choose assignee(s) and start/end dates to apply to all of the subtasks.

Click the Add Tasks button to create the subtasks under the chosen parent task.
