Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create task
  2. Create subtask
  3. Create section in subtasks (tab + N)
  4. Create another subtask
  5. Expand subtasks from project list view
  6. Select first and last subtask using [shift] + [click]
  7. Drag subtasks to parent task level
  8. Asana crashes when it tries to lift the subtask section to the parent task level.

PS: I indicated moderate, but it might be more urgent as I learned that all subtasks after the subtask section end up orphaned with neither project nor parent task.

I’m now finding the tasks again through search.

I think the sections are floating in the void. :laughing:

Definitely not great behavior, but not sure how critical it is - most people don’t even know about subtasks sections; I could be wrong but suspect they are a very little-used feature.

Wow, I had no idea task sections were a thing.

You can even create them with a “create subtasks” rule action, and the will convert into project sections when you convert the task to a project. :nerd_face:

Ok, probably not critical. But I’d make a point of fixing it anyway, with tasks potentially ending up in the void.
