YN-0207: subtasks

[ynbot]

Please describe the feature you have in mind and explain what the current shortcomings are?

subtasks under a task that can either be "real" or "fake".,

i.e. can have a workfile attached to the subtask, or the subtask is just purely for tracking.

subtasks can be related to a product,

Additionally:

We also want to limit the product names an artist can make to a defined list, possibly provided by the subtasks under a task.,

i.e. on the creators in the publish, don't show a text field on product name, show a list.

We have 2 specific usecases, 1 for assets and 1 for shots:

Assets:,

Department variants.,

e.g: Look variants and have that are defined on AYON instead of artist having to name it.

We want it to have one workfile, not multiple, as look for example will work in one workfile and write out multiple products,

We want to track the variants progress in AYON.,

Shots:,

Scene splitting.,

Animation will split a single shot into multiple scenes files. This could either be subtasks or multiple tasks (we need to figure this out)

We have tools for managing animation splitting internally which we just need to port over.

Side note: we do animation caches per asset on a shot. Which would probably be a product per asset inside each shot. We layer this into the animation.usd (might need a conversation on this specifically)

Additional context:

(might be a private channel)
