Subtask Access Only - While Keeping Main Task Private
Eric
We need the ability to assign subtasks while keeping the main task (and all other subtasks) private.
This can be done on Wrike and other platforms.
Use case example:
Main task: Blog Article
Sub-Tasks:
- Research
- Writing Article
- Image Design
- Layout Design
- Publish
In this example, I need to assign the writing task to a writer, but he doesn't need to have access to the main task and all the other sub-tasks.
Currently, if we assign someone to a sub-task, they will gain access to the main task and everything in it, including other sub-tasks.
That's a security concern if we work with 3rd party solutions or temporary contractors.
With Wrike, for example, the writer would only get, and see, a writing task. He doesn't even know that this task is a subtask for another task.

This feature would be a gamechanger for working with clients so we can assign tasks from the master list - keeping our own tasks/dashboards more manageable in the process.

This feature would make our lives so much easier. I have to make another list, create a separate task there and then link it to my main task in another list. Its amazing to see that this feature was requested years ago!

We have one clickup workspace that's dedicated to Ops tasks and only few people have access to as it's a lot of confidential info: eg approval of invoices, onboard/offboarding of people, legal. So we don't want to give anybody else to the workspace.
But sometimes we want to give access to one subtask.
Eg approval of invoices, it would be nice to be able re-assign a subtask to a project manager to approve it. Or for onboarding to have a task for the new joiner to send in his/her passport.
And sometimes we want to give access to a task, but not the full list.
Eg. if somebody requests travel, we don't want the requestor to have access to the whole list, but it would be nice if that person can submit a new request and tracks only his/her own requests.

I agree. We are working on government contracts and therefore working in a private list. But we still need access to resources in the public list (and show up on the main space views like Timeline, or Board View).
I initially tried to assign resources to the subtask but because of the private nature of the list, it doesn't show up on the public Space views. So you can't tell what I'm using or what I need.
Then I thought I could create all my subtasks in the private list, under the parent task, and then add specific, non-explicit subtasks to the public list and assign machines and resources there. But as soon as you add a subtask to a public list, everyone has access to the parent task too.
I can't find a good way to get around this.
It'd be nice to be able to modify permissions on the parent task and subtasks separately. Seems like it's all treated the same right now. I'd hate to have to duplicate everything (one in the private list with all the info, and one in the public list with no info). Then update both. It defeats the purpose of saving time (whole idea of Clickup).
Please help!
