Hi, I am struggling with little problem. I have one parent task with too many subtasks (let’s say, one subtask = one day of the year), now I want to create a better hierarchy (one subtask = one month of the year) and move all current (day-of-the-year) subtasks in these new (month-of-the-year) subtasks. Any idea how to do it in bulk?

Hi @anon99228435, welcome to the forum!

This is a very good question! you can currently make a task/subtask a subtask of another task from the Advance actions in your task/subtask. However this action cannot be perform in bulk.

As a workaround, you can [multi-select](https://asana.com/guide/help/faq/multiselect) all the subtasks and [drag and drop](https://asana.com/guide/help/tasks/subtasks#sts=Convert%20tasks%20in%20subtasks) them in the main task list. Then you can drag and drag them separately to the subtask they need to be re-organized.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have more questions!

Thank you, @Emily_Roman. I understand the procedure, but it doesn’t solve my problem.!

I have this structure of the parent tasks, with lots of more subtasks

and I am asking, if there’s some easy way how to reorganize my subtasks to this structure:

Is there some workaround? Thank you in advance.
