Display subtasks on List view when project is filtered/sorted

A great new feature. A big “thank you” to the Asana team :slight_smile:
Just a small drawback which should be fixed: When you apply a filter to the list (in my case on task of this week), then this feature doesn’t work anymore. No idea if this is a bug or intended.

It surely makes me happy. And even more if this one issue is fixed :wink:

Hi @Philip_McCreight :wave:

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us! I’m glad to hear you are enjoying this new feature!
I’m pretty sure this is the expected behaviour but let me double check this with the team. I’ll get back to you as soon as I have an update!

Thanks for the fast reply :slight_smile: Looking forward for more information in the official announcement, so I understand the logic of the different ways of handling of this feature in different views.

Looking forward to this - can’t wait to play with it!

thanks,
Jason

I have access to it as well! :heart:

Having either the ability to see subtasks in a filtered list, or being able to see sections when in a filtered search list view, would solve a huge pain point for our hardware engineering team: we need this to get an idea of what work is planned for the week. Without this, we have no visibility into sub-tasks. Thanks!

I like the new feature when you can click on the black arrow and instantly view the sub tasks pertaining to that task.

However, this is only possible when viewing the full list without filters or sorting. I would like to have the same feature when having filters on.

Further more , a feature such as expand or collapse all would also be useful (this can be also used for sections )

Seeing subtasks in List View is awesome. However, I cannot see them when in My Tasks. Is that intentional, and if so is there a way of showing them in List View too??

My Tasks view is a bit “special” and it is probably intentional/temporary.

Ok, thanks very much Bastien :slight_smile:

So this was a new feature… I was amazed when I found it. I was wondering if it was there all along, and I just didn’t notice it.

Now for the bad news. This great feature is hampered by the fact that you still have to add subtasks to projects in order for them to show up on the Boards, Timeline, Calendar, etc.

I was sooooo excited when I saw this feature at first, I was going to start re-doing all of our show templates so we can build one episode and have the subtasks for it roll-under. But after I built out one example, it proved to not really work fully, since the subtasks weren’t in the project.

:weary: thanks for the heads up though!

Yes indeed the new feature is only a display feature, it does not change the fact that subtasks are not part of the project. Not sure if that will happen one day…
However the subtasks do get the custom fields of the project, so it is halfway done :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Hi team,

I love the way that we can see subtasks in the list view but noticed that when I sort my tasks, say by a custom field, it is not possible to see subtasks in the list view anymore. When I remove the filter, I can see them in list view again. Is this the intended behavior? It would be fantastic if we could see subtasks in the list view irrespective of the way we are sorting tasks.

Thanks in advance

Welcome to the Forum @David_Leyden and thank you for sharing your feedback with us!

I can confirm that this is indeed the current behaviour when sorting tasks in a project. We already have a thread on this topic so I’ve gone ahead and merged your post with it to consolidate feedback! Please don’t forget to upvote it!

Thank you again for your feedback David! Have a nice Friday!
