Are there plans to add a sub-task list column to MS Lists? I would like to be able to create a sub-task checklist similar to subtask lists in Planner to manage work.

    There is no list template available in the Microsoft List which allows adding subtasks.

    Here is a workaround to achieve this.

    1.Create a new choice column called "Task".

    2.Then you select task name in each item.

    Another Workaround solution is create separate List with subtasks and lookup that sub task list in the main task. so that you can track all the status related to subtasks in linear.
