Update Nov 2025: This feature is still on our radar, but not on the committed roadmap at this time. We are hoping to get to this soon, and I'll keep this request updated with anything new as we move forward.

Yes! This would help so much in our workflows! We use main tasks for high level things with very specific statuses but the sub tasks typically just need a simple to do, in progress, and complete

Caroline Ginty Zeb Evans Please, put this on the roadmap. So needed.
Admin Operations
We run a sales/project pipeline in Kanban. Main tasks move through pipeline stages (e.g. Lead → Proposal → Active → Done). Within each task, we need action items (subtasks) that:
- have an assignee
- have a due date
- are simply Open or Done — no pipeline status workflow
None of the current options solve this cleanly:
- Subtasks inherit pipeline statuses → confusing for the team
- Checklist items support assignees but no due dates
- Assigned comments support assignees but no due dates
- Two parallel lists (the current workaround) work technically but create overhead and break the natural workflow inside a task
The fix we need: allow subtasks to use a different, simpler status set than their parent task — ideally configurable at list or folder level. This is the single most impactful change for pipeline-based workflows.
