Why keeping a subtask's chat isolated from the main task's chat avoids confusion
A subtask's chat stays isolated from the main task's chat because each one has its own conversation channel — messages written in a subtask don't show up in the source task's chat, nor in other related subtasks.
Why does this separation make a difference?
When several people are working on different parts of the same project, mixing all the conversations into a single chat creates noise: it becomes hard to tell which message relates to which specific stage of the work.
By isolating the chat per subtask, each owner only sees the messages relevant to what they're doing, keeping the history clean and easy to follow later.
How it works in practice
- Open a task's card and click "add subtask."
- The subtask created is already linked to the source task, but with its own chat.
- Write messages inside the subtask — they stay restricted to that specific context.
- To see the main task's conversation, you need to open its chat separately.
| Level | Chat |
|---|---|
| Main task | General conversation about the process |
| Subtask | Conversation specific to that step |

No, each subtask has exactly one chat of its own, dedicated to it. Learn more at jestor.com.
