Hello @Pamela_Harasyn  
this could be a workaround: [Subtasks Expanded in List View as default - #2 by Rebecca\_McGrath](https://forum.asana.com/t/subtasks-expanded-in-list-view-as-default/121634/2)

Same is explained here also: [See subtasks in board or list view (without expanding) - #2 by Daniel\_Frischknecht](https://forum.asana.com/t/see-subtasks-in-board-or-list-view-without-expanding/152930/2)

Also this seems to be what you are looking for: [Default layout saves open lists of sub-tasks](https://forum.asana.com/t/default-layout-saves-open-lists-of-sub-tasks/86021)
