Hi Prasad,

I tried this with freeform taskboard, you can link child task to the task in VTB.

  1. Click on link of task which will open task in record form.
  2. Click on context menu and select form layout.
  3. Select task->parent field in list collector.
  4. And link child task there as shown below

Here I share screenshots so you can understand:

Hi there,

You can't directly do this with a Visual Task Board. You really need to open one of the records (obviously you could select the record by clicking the link on the VTB Card), and from that view related the records to each other (if there's for example a reference field or a related list).

If my answer helped you in any way, please then mark it as helpful.

I don't see that option. Can you share the snapshot showing the same?

When having a VTB Card open, you can select the record itself. Depending on the view, you might have a reference field or related list available on that record.

Hi Prasad,

You can't  create task directly from task board. In VTB there is link to record on each card. To open record click on that link, it will open the record of that particular task.

Here I provided screenshot that will help you to understand:

Click on the link of task and in record form you can link task from related list as shown in below screenshot.
