A project is a combination of many small tasks which will be allotted to various people in that project team. In Odoo, there is a Project module, on installing provides a lot of features for project assistance, especially for planning and allocating tasks. However, sometimes certain tasks may be comprise of another sets of tasks. Odoo project module covers this facility named as sub tasks. The blog discuss in detail on Sub-tasks in Odoo 13 projects.

In this project module:

Creating Sub-tasks in Odoo 13 Projects

Here to illustrate this, I have created a project named Sample Project. I have also created a number of tasks in 3 boards namely new,  progressing and completed.

Given below is an image of what I have done so far.

• You can create new tasks in each board by clicking on the “+” near to each board.
• You can also assign the employee for each task from there itself.

Click on a task and hit Edit. You will be able to see the number of sub tasks assigned to that task.

Click on Sub-Tasks to add any. Then hit on Create.

Note the name of the sub-task that appears. This is because task 2 is the parent task here, only sub task 1 is the user given name.

You can assign the sub tasks to different employees. After creating enough sub tasks you will be able to see the no of sub tasks for each tasks like this.
