Hi @vermauv,

If you create a subtask of a task then that task id would be the parentTaskId of the subtask.

https://docs.camunda.org/manual/7.8/reference/rest/task/post-create/

In order to get list of tasks belongs to a specific sub process, you should query tasks as in below docs with executionId of sub process provided
