For our weekly editorial calendar I have milestones and tasks that have subtasks (this is a workaround since sections can’t be marked as ‘completed’). Often those subtasks need to be moved to other parent tasks. But it looks like I can’t drag and drop these subtasks from list view – I have to go into the parent task and drag them from below the description area. It would be so much easier if I could drag them straight from the list view.
Yes, but ultimately drag and drop is the functionality that is most intuitive.

Agreed, it’s kind of counter intuitive that drag and drop works so often in asana except for this one usecase.

Yes ! This feature is more important than ever since SECTIONS are not tasks anymore…
Hi @Marie, possible to know if there are any chances to hope this feature soon ?

It’d be great to select multiple tasks and drag them into another. The add to another task, feature for moving multiple tasks is cumbersome

The advance menu works but drag and drop would be more intuitive and faster.
Is there any chance that the drag and drop version will be created?
And what part of Asana do you have to contact to flag up this great idea?
I think Mavenlink allows for the drag/drop…in case that’s an incentive for the Asana Team to build this UX capability. It would help improve efficiency of planning, organizing, and creating a project/program plan.
This feels like a bug or missing feature - because you can drag-and-drop main tasks, but can’t do the same in subtasks in the left-hand view.
You can drag-and-drop subtasks in the right view, but it’s really clunky… And even if com pleted tasks are hidden in the main view, that doesn’t carry over to subtasks in the right-hand view. All a bit of a mess!
I rather like that the subtasks are not hidden in the Details view. I normally hide Completed Tasks, as I don’t need to see them, but hiding Subtasks would be problematic and I don’t want to have to switch back and forth the views constantly.
The Drag and Drop function of subtasks within a project is very uncomfortable. We need a faster solution to drop the subtasks from one Maintask to another in the same project.
Thanks a lot Asana Team.

I am also trying to move a task to a subtask. Is there any change in how this action is performed? I don’t see the “advanced actions” option shown in the screen shot when I navigate to that drop down menu… Is this a setting that I, or a team Asana admin, can change?
