Hi,

I have a base with a list of tasks that need to be performed. Every task has a list of different subtasks (about 6 per task) that need to be checked off by someone who performs the task. 

What would be the best way to approach this? 

Thanks,

Mark

I'd recommend creating another table called "Subtasks" and linking it to the main "Tasks" table.  You could then link the subtasks to the tasks, and automate the creating of the subtasks by using Record Templates: https://support.airtable.com/docs/using-record-templates-in-airtable

The "Subtasks" table would have a status field / checkbox field for users to indicate the status / completion of the task that you could then summarize in the main "Tasks" table

Thanks, seems the right direction, but how would this work if I have different subtasks for every task? I have about 10 tasks, with 6 different subtasks to perform.
