I would love to be able to make a task a subtask of another task, especially when I realize it should be a step in a task, not it’s own task. In general, it would be great if you could scale from a subtask, all the way to a project or team with one topic/task. Also, it would be nice to just drag a task over another task to make it a subtask.

Hello there :slight_smile: So in a project list view type its easy to drag a task to another task to convert it as a subtask of the second one, as explained by @Aisling_Grogan and in How to Use Asana subtasks | Product guide • Asana Product Guide But how about doing the same in a project board view type? Can anyone help me here? Many thanks

Hi @Ricardo_Ferreira - the equivalent subtask functionality does not exist in boards view right now. However, we hope to expand boards functionality very soon.

I’m wondering what’s your scale for “soon”… I’m here at this thread because can’t move a task under another one in board view… and can’t change the view to list. I tried @Peter3 's solution from above and that works - but that’s a workaround. I have some itching when I need to click more than should (might be personal… that’s my user-feedback). Keep up… and publish, please, a roadmap instead of ‘soonifying’ the customer support threads :slight_smile:

Hey there @Geza_Molnar. Thanks for your thoughts! If you’d like to see this as a feature I suggest you add to an existing relevant thread in the #productfeedback category or you can feel free to create a new one. :slight_smile:

Hi, i think this could also be usefull to “convert section to subtask” So, moving a section should carry all it tasks… This is also true when sorting sections… theres no way to select or move al tasks bellow that section… gretings!!

Here is one [image] Boards Convert Tasks into Subtasks 🚀 Features Launched HI just wondering if we could drag and drop subtasks into a task… the option is available in list format… is there a way of doing for the board… thanks in advance… and two [image] [Boards] Make Subtasks become Tasks in board view Product Feedback I notice in list view project, I am able to drag & move subtasks out of a specific task. Usually I’m adding it to another task within that same project (re-parenting). This has been very useful when I consolidate and group my project tasks after collection. Recently, we started using the board view and this no longer seems to be possible (although there is a workaround, it’s rather clunky): Removing Subtasks from Parent Tasks - #5 by Gunes333 I’d like an easier way to perform this function. Do… Keep up!

Hi! It will be great to select more than just one by one the tasks to drag them into another task. I tried selecting to tasks and I just had the screen “Yo selected 2 Tasks” at mi right and not the main task where I wanted to move them.

This is not working for me. When I attempt to drag the task into the other, I get a error symbol. It will only let me move it above or below. I have no idea what I am doing wrong. This is so frustrating as I have spent hours setting up my Asana to transition from paper planners and now I realize I need to condense and use more sub-tasks. I have so many that I need to move. If you could assist me with this, I would be very grateful. Thanks!

Hi @Jessica_Edson-SImmon - we’ll be happy to help! You should be able to easily convert subtasks to tasks via drag and drop. Could you please provide a screenshot of the error message you’re seeing?

Hi, Alexis! I must have misunderstood the previous post. What I am attempting to do is convert a task to a subtask. Is this possible?
