Can I Assign Multiple Artists to the Same Shot-Level Task in ShotGrid?

Flow Production Tracking
1

I’m working on a VFX pipeline where, for example, a shot has a “Roto” task. Sometimes multiple artists need to work on the same task simultaneously—for instance, one artist handles the main plate while another handles the background plate.

By default, is it possible in ShotGrid to assign more than one artist to the same task without creating separate tasks? How to do it?

I’m trying to understand the best practices studios follow for this kind of shot-level work assignment.

Yes you can assign multiple artists in the Assigned to field.

There are multiple different methodologies to track this sort of work.
For some it’s okay to simply assign multiple people to the same task.
other’s may want to track the tasks on a more sub-task level so they create multiple tasks like roto-main, roto-char, roto-bg etc.

It really depends on your tracking needs (example: tracking timelogs against bid time) and how you want your pipeline to work.
