The **client portal** in the #asana-client-management product has a #list-view of #tasks below the updates area. This is great. However, these tasks are missing features tasks have throughout the rest of Asana product surfaces:

1. The name of a parent task is not displayed to the right of the task. This will cause clients confusion because two tasks may be named the same thing and a client will not know which is which without clicking on them first and opening the #task-detail-pane.
2. When a task has #subtasks, there is no subtask icon and count indicating that fact. Ref. `.CountWithIconButtonStructure`.
3. When a task has a subtask, there is no caret icon indicating that fact nor one they can use to expand the task to display subtasks in this task list view. Ref. `ProjectSpreadsheetGridRow-subtaskToggleButton`.

**Client Portal View**

**Board View in Project**

 ![CleanShot X 2026-10-13 21.39.46](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/asana/original/4X/f/e/2/fe2304e20fa412465fd37655fcfc6cfadab511ce.png)

As such, the current implementation of this task list view lacks **parity** and #consistency with other views that display tasks throughout the Asana product.
