Create sub-items from task description or AI - possible to automatically add task description to subitems?
Is it possible to create subitems from task descriptions or using AI that include task descriptions in the subitems?
For example, I'd like to input text into a task description, then select the text to create subitems that have a title, due date and task description.
Hi Caitlin Sullivan, I'm very interested in this request.
Great idea!
Hi Caitlin Sullivan and Pietro Poli! It is possible to create subitems from task descriptions using AI in Wrike, although automatically including descriptions to those subitems isn't possible. You can take a look at this Help Center article for more details and steps. Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!

Hello Basudha Sakshyarika,
We use this feature to create sub items (tasks), however Wrike chooses what kind of task to create. Is there a way to select what kind of task is created? For example, our programmers list features of a project in their task. The PM then highlights that list of features and selects "Create sub-item" to turn those into actionable tasks. Sometimes it creates a regular task type (the same type that the task was originally) and sometimes it creates a different, custom item type. Our custom item types (bugs, meeting notes, etc) all have default content in the description and a unique icon, which we then have to change item type and manually delete the standard content in them.
I love this feature, but it causes more work if it doesn't let us select what kind of task to create. Any work arounds or plans to allow the user to select the task type?
I've read through this help center article but I don't see the answer.
Thanks, Danielle
Hi Danielle Wilson, apologies for the delay in getting back to you 🙇🏻♀️. Thank you for sharing more details on this topic. Currently, there are no plans to allow users to select the task type. However, I’ve noted this as feedback for our product team and have passed it on. Thank you! 🙏🏼
