This can be implemented via Zapier. You can have the completion of a step create another checklist and have this process be conditional based on data in the original step.
Here's how to do this with Zapier.
https://intercom.help/manifestly/en/articles/2838592-start-a-new-checklist-run-from-completing-a-step-in-a-different-checklistWe are looking into do this within the app, but the Zapier approach provides significant flexibility implementing this use case.

Yes! +101 !!
I expressed this to Peter as either "linked" procedures or "sub tasks", separately assignable.
This one improvement solves lots of problems:
1) Just plain readability & organizational; a single level of heading is not really enough
2) Ability to reuse small procedures in several larger contexts (E.g., "How to ship a package via UPS" could be included/reused in a *lot* of places)
3) Security issues when inviting External Users. Inviting them to participate in a single procedure that is part of a larger chain allows segmenting of information so that they can be invited in a process that has security issues, without exposing the sensitive information.
