Creating Custom Item type as subitems in the Description field

Jessica Kvanvig

Hello,
I'd like to present a business case for a feature that would enhance our workflow efficiency.

In our translation process, we frequently create anywhere from 20-100 subtasks every couple of weeks by adding them directly into the description of a task. This feature of adding subitems in the description field is incredibly efficient and has been a game-changer for us.

To further streamline our workflow, we see significant value in having the ability to create these subitems as pre-created custom item types. This would allow us to assign the same individual and task type to all subitems at once, enhancing consistency and saving time in our processes.

Implementing this feature would not only benefit our team but could also provide substantial efficiency gains for other Wrike users with similar needs. We believe this capability would be a valuable addition to Wrike's feature set.

Thank you for considering this suggestion.

@Jessica Kvanvig This is a great suggestion! We would benefit from this as well as we also make a lot of subtasks. In the meantime, here is a work-around that I've been using: I limit which types of subitems are allowed in my custom item types. That way, when I create them from the task description, as you do, I can control which types are created. Obviously, this means the parent task must be a custom item type, but maybe this can help you as well!
