how to copy sub task from a task list to another task list as sub task

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hi,

 

I have a parent task list: "SampleTasks" (created on parent/root) and child task list: "IT Tasks" (created on subsite) and I have a simple flow setup that triggers when a task is created in IT Tasks, it then copies this task and creates it in SampleTasks. One issue I see is let's say if I create a sub task in IT Tasks list, the flow then copies/creates this sub task as a separate task in SampleTasks list, in theory it should be added as sub task to its parent task in SampleTasks as well.

 

Can someone give me any idea on this please ,thanks.

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    Thanks for feedback.

    I am afraid that there is no action could be used to get/create sub tasks from/in SharePoint Tasks list.

    There is a similar request at Flow Ideas Forum, please vote and comment the idea at here:

    https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Flow-Ideas/SharePoint-Task-List-get-ParentID/idi-p/70383

    I will suggest more customer vote this idea, PGs will take hot ideas into consideration first in future releases.

    Thanks for your understanding and cooperation.

     

    Best regards,

    Mabel
