Why does keeping a subtask's chat isolated from the main task's chat prevent confusion?

In Jestor, each subtask has its own chat, separate from the main task's chat: a message written inside one subtask doesn't show up if you open another subtask under the same task, keeping every conversation scoped to the context where it was written.

Why would mixing all conversations into a single chat create confusion?

A main task can have several subtasks in progress at the same time, each with a different team or owner. If every message fell into the same general task chat, it would become hard to tell which comment refers to which specific subtask — the relevant information would get lost among conversations from other contexts.

How does chat separation work in Jestor?

  1. Every main task has its own chat, for general discussions about the project as a whole.
  2. Every linked subtask has an independent chat, isolated from the other subtasks and from the main task.
  3. A message written inside a specific subtask only shows up to whoever opens that same subtask.
  4. This keeps information organized: description, notes, and chat, all specific to that card's context.

Level Chat scope
Main task General conversation about the project or task as a whole
Subtask Isolated conversation, specific to that subtask

Why choose Jestor?

This card-by-card isolation adds to other information that's also specific to each subtask — description, notes, and attachments — which keeps the team organized even when several people are working on different subtasks of the same task in Jestor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I see every subtask's conversations in one place? Each subtask keeps its own isolated chat; there's no unified view of all conversations at once.

Does this affect mention notifications? Mentions keep working normally within the scope of the chat where they were made.

Does the main task's owner see the subtasks' conversations? They need to open each subtask individually to follow the corresponding chat.
