# April 2024

> April 2024 release notes covering required subtasks that block status changes plus two-factor authentication for account security.

# Subtasks & Job Statuses

Require subtasks to be completed before changing the job status! When creating a subtask or a subtask template, you can now require that a subtask be completed before selecting or bypassing a status. If you try to change a status without completed the required subtask(s), FieldPulse will display an error and prompt you to complete it.
