Description:
Currently Eventum supports "Related Issues" and "Duplicate Issues".
But in many cases it is extremely useful to create sub-tasks for issue.
For example you want to create issue:
"Implement new web site design".
This is very general issue and if it will have a lot of comments it will be difficult to track if everything was done. Because the scope of this issue is really big you can miss something which was in initial issue description or in comments.

But If you have possibility to create sub-tasks you can create sub-task for each particular item covered by the general issue. You will have following:
-|"Implement new web site design"
 |
 |--|"Change css to represent new corporate colors"
 |--|"Update icons"
 |--|"Update logic page"
...
etc.

Now you see your large issue split on sub-tasks. You can see % of completion of each task and other information. This makes usage of issue tracking system more robust.

Thanks,
Serhiy
