@Jessica_Edson-SImmon Yes this is possible. It’s just not ideal. I just finished doing this for about 50 tasks and it didn’t take too long but way longer than it should.
You can NOT select multiple tasks and then turn them into subtasks in the same way you can select multiple subtasks and drag them over to become tasks.
With subtasks you must do the following:
- Have the Destination Task and the Eventual Subtasks in same project (preferably near each other)
- Select the Destination Task with mouse click bringing up the task on right hand side
- Hover over ONE Eventual Subtask and click/hold on the drag icon
- Drag this Eventual Subtask over to the right hand side Destination Task BELOW the Description box
- This is important: IT MUST BE RIGHT ON THE LINE under the Description box if no subtasks exists, otherwise you will see the red error symbol
- If subtasks already exist then just drag it amongst them where you need it
The reason you can’t multi-drag tasks into a Destination Task is that by the nature of Asana this brings up a combined task view on the right hand side, replacing your Destination Task view.
This is “working as intended”. The only way to fix this would be for them to add a menu option in the task view that says “add as subtask” and lets you choose what task to add the multi-selected tasks to.
