Is it possible to assign subtasks via Workfront Fusion. I want the subtasks to be assigned to the Task assignee.

    Hi @megkart I think starting with a "Search" Module that pulls up the tasks you need (with an output of the "Assigned to ID" and then adding a "Read related records" module with the parent ID pulled from the "Search" module's task ID should pull all the child tasks. A third module would be required to change the assigned to ID of each child task using an "Update Record" module.

      Thank you, and if I want to assign specific subtasks to different people is that possible? For example, Subtask #1- Sam Subtask #2- Amanda.

        You would use all of the tasks in the bundle that the search provides to do this. You would need to put an if() or switch() statement on the assignedToID part to determine who gets what task. This could be by bundle order #, task # asc/desc, or even just by name if the task names are static.

          Maybe worth mentioning that assigning parent (top-level) tasks when there are associated children tasks isn't considered a best practice for a lot of folks. So while the answer to initial question is simple: yes, you can assign subtasks as you wish.
          But does such structure makes sense? it can have serious reporting implications
          Here is a discussion for reference:
