This would go a long way in letting many of us move completely away from Trello, Asana, Etc. into Airtable. I know there are workarounds (link to another table’s list containing the tasks), but that quickly becomes overly cumbersome. Would love to have simple checklist as a field option!
Many thanks to the posters who offered workarounds. I would also like to see this feature for the reasons mentioned by other users, to be able to break things into a series of steps.
I too would love ability to add simple checklists for subtasks to a row/card in airtable just like you can in trello. Trello is perfect - super easy to add a checklist of subtasks to the card. I think you can even add multiple checklists though that seems like overkill. Would love to see this in airtable for Kanban view and the expanded row details modal.
It was depressing going through this whole thread from start date to now only to realize this feature still does not exist. Seeing as it’s a no-brainer, I assume there is some issue not visible to us with implementing it. I will be very happy once this feature appears.
I may be onto something here after reading this thread. I needed a way to create repeatable checklists as well that sometimes would need their own sub checklist. I use a combination of multi-selects, check boxes, and attachments. For the muti-selects the idea is to add all items at initial project kick-off, and then as each item in that checklist is completed the user removes that item. I then link a checklist record to the projects that need them. I can also use different views to create workflows on the checklists based on what department does what, so if there are other steps that have to be completed first, then those checklist records are hidden until completed. then Zapier can trigger the notification the appropriate team, that they have a new checklist to attend to in their view.
