Ability to drag and drop Sections (of subtasks) within a task

Within Project List View, it is possible to grab a whole section and move it inside the List. All the tasks inside the Section are also moved (yay!).

Within a Task (i.e. among the Subtasks), Sections (let’s call them SubSections?) seem to be treated completely differently (although are formatted the same). Dragging a SubSection moves it as an individual unit among the Subtasks.

I would expect that dragging a SubSections containing Subtasks would cause the Subtasks underneath that SubSections to also be moved.

Perhaps this is an architectural issue, such that Subtasks are not really within SubSections, or SubSections inside a Task are not really Sections. (When you open the Detail View of a Subtask, it doesn’t show the ‘SubSections’ above it in the Subtask details, like it does for something in the main List View.)

The implication though is that they ought to be the same/similar as bona fide Sections, given that the same Tab-N shortcut creates these ‘SubSections’ when inside the Task.

That’s simply because the data model is not the same. Sections in subtasks are actually kinda subtask but with a special flavour. Your feedback is still valid though, but unless they change the data model, I am not sure this would happen.

Yes, purely talking from an user experience perspective in terms of what I would expect based on current styling and shortcuts. (And the user experience can later shape design decisions.)
