IS THERE A WAY A SUBTASK CAN BE SHARED TO A DIFFERENT PROJECT THAN THE ONE OF THE MAIN TASK?

Hi @anon52469503 welcome to the forum 
Yes you can āmulti-homeā subtasks into other projects just like any other task.
Go into the subtaskās details by clicking on the ābubbleā icon on the right (or press TAB+right arrow)
Then click on the ... menu within the task details pane and select āAdd to projectsā (or press TAB+P) and start typing the project you want to add the subtask to as a normal task. You can also refer to this article in the Asana guide.
Hope this helps! Kalimera

Hi All,
Can you multi-home subsubtasks?
I have junior members on my team so we breakdown subtasks into further subsubtasks. We want to those to show up in the Project and on their workplan (Project) but I think it canāt be done?
Welcome, @Caroline_Kennedy,
Yes! While looking at the subtask in the right-side task detail pane do Tab+P shortcut (or click the ā. . .ā menu and choose Add to Projects).

Thanks Larry
That works for subtasks but not SUBsubtasks (i.e. daughter tasks of subtasks)?
Yes, actually, it should work for any nested subtask. Just make sure the one you want to change is showing in the task detail pane then do Tab+P or the menu.
Hi Larry,
The normal āProjectsā field isnt visible on any nested subtasks when i open them. The option to add projects is only visible for subtasks.
Are we talking about the same thing?
In a project, Asana has tasks (level 1), subtasks (level 2) and subSubtasks (level 3). And of course team members can break things down even further of they wish. But as far as i can see, the option to add a task to a parent project disappears beyond level 2!
Yes, weāre on the same page. While itās true the Projects field doesnāt show by default for subtasks, follow my instructions above to make it show. That is, click on the task detail pane with the subtask showing, then type Tab+P or open the ā¦ menu and choose Add to projects to add the Projects field for editing on the subtask.

Can I check something else please? I now have tasks mapped to multiple projects. In the overview tab for a particular project, is it possible to add a column to show the projects that task is mapped to and allow me to quickly add more? Ideally Iād like to be able to run through all the tasks in a project and make sure theyāve been added to everyoneās project workplans
Hi @Caroline_Kennedy , you cannot do what you are asking for in the Overview tab, but you can do it in the List view by enabling the āProjectā field, like this:
ā¦which I also described in this post
Once enabled in your List view, it will show you which tasks belong to other projects. And if you click into the cell, you can type the name of any other project that you want to add the task to.

Got it thank you!
Iām on a project where Iām a commenter only (not a project admin) and I canāt seem to multi-home a subtask. Is this because of my status role in the project?
Welcome, and yes, @James_Madden2, Youād need to at least have the project permission āEditor.ā
Thanks,
Larry

Hello - I am able to multi-home Subtasks into other Projects as Tasks, but when I then make that Task a Subtask in the new Project (as opposed to a Task) it seems to pull it from the other Project. Can a Subtask not be a Subtask in more than two Projects? It seems to work in two Projects to have the same Subtask under the relevant Task in each of the two Projects, but when I try to add the Subtask to a third Project (first as a task and then a Subtask), it kicks the Subtask off of one of the other Projects.

I have the same issue @Carter_Scott !
I have Subtask A in Project 1. I multi-home Subtask A to Project 2 and it appears as a task.
When I try to convert Subtask A (now Task A) to a Subtask of Project 2, it disappears from Project 1.
I canāt figure out how to fix this, but it is pretty big problem for my organization.
@Carter_Scott and @Nina_Wine,
Itās a limitation that a subtask may only a subtask of one parent task at a time.
This limitation is not to be confused with the fact that a subtask (or task) can be a member of multiple projects (using Tab+P when the subtask is showing in the task detail pane).
Hope that makes sense.
Thanks,
Larry
That makes sense, thank you Larry!
