so what’s the status of this issue?
Nothing indicates Asana will ever do it. We might have a few things here and there so that subtasks are easier to use, but I doubt subtasks will ever be truly part of the project. That’s only my opinion.
It’s too bad, because it’s literally the #1 complaint I hear from clients when they come to me for help with Asana.
It’s to the point where, it’s hard to get them off the topic, because they’re so honed in on the subtask confusion.

What is exactly the issue, what’s the thing they ask for? They want the project name to appear in My Tasks? Or they want more?
Yes, exactly. They want the project name to appear in My Tasks.
@RD_Creative - Asana is actually working on this right now! If you look at the features they have in development, there’s a feedback request specifically about showing projects on My Tasks:

OMG OMG!! 
Thanks so much for drawing this to my attention. I didn’t even know there was an ‘In Development’ section.
Well, a lot of people will be delighted with this fix.
THANK YOU ASANA!! 
It looks like this issue was “fixed” for the My Tasks view but didn’t actually solve the root cause of the request - which is to add subtasks to the project. If you click into a subtask, you still don’t see the Project Title. This means that in other views, namely Search, you still don’t see the project the subtask is associated with.

Any update on this request? It’s been six years! I literally cannot manage my team’s priorities as a resource manager as it stands now without manually assigning 100s of subtasks to their intended project. That’s insane.

Dashboards and Workload do include subtasks, @Nina_Perrine what’s your request exactly?
They dont sadly.
Only after I add the subtask manual to the project, the subtask is visible in the board
Yes that’s intended behaviour at that point indeed. Make sure to upvote the post
Hi ASANA, any reaction from your side on this 6 years old topic?
I’ve tried to scrolling through thousands of threads and I cannot believe that we still have this issue? How can I get an overview of my team’s tasks from other projects without subtasks?

Simple: use an Advanced search or a dashboard where you can click the chart 
Hello Asana team,
I’m relatively new to using Asana and it took me about an hour today to figure out why subtasks weren’t available in ‘Highlights’ to pull in to Status Updates. I’ve reviewed some of the above posts but at 374 posts it’s too much to review everything. At this point I don’t think I necessarily need subtasks to be assigned to a project directly, but one way or another, I’m very much looking for subtasks to be available in Highlights. It’s strange to me that such an otherwise mature and powerful tool doesn’t facilitate this.
I’ve given an upvote to this request/thread but please let me know if there’s a more appropriate place for this request. TY!
