# workflows.SubmitSubtask

```go
workflows.SubmitSubtask(
	ctx context.Context,
	task workflows.Task,
	options ...subtask.SubmitOption,
) (subtask.FutureTask, error)
```

Submit a subtask to the runner.

This function is intended to be used in tasks.

## Parameters

**task**

`Task`

A subtask to submit

**options**

`[]subtask.SubmitOption`

Options for the subtask

## Options

**WithDependencies(dependencies ...FutureTask)**

Set dependencies for the task

**WithClusterSlug(clusterSlug string)**

default: cluster of the runner

Set the cluster slug of the cluster where the task will be executed.

**WithMaxRetries(maxRetries int64)**

default: 0

Set the maximum number of [retries](/docs/workflows/concepts/tasks#retry-handling) for the subtask in case it fails

**WithOptional()**

default: false

Mark the subtask as [optional](/docs/workflows/concepts/tasks#optional-tasks). An optional subtask will not fail the job if it fails. Tasks that depend on it will still execute even if it failed.

## Returns

A future task that can be used to set dependencies between tasks.
