Hi @anon10575398, welcome to the Asana Community Forum! Let’s try to solve this together.

• Could you confirm if you have followed these troubleshooting steps and the issue persists?
• There is currently a limit of 5 layers of subtasks per task. For example:

Task
Subtask level 1
Subtask of Subtask level 2
Subtask of Subtask level 3
Subtask of Subtask level 4
Subtask of Subtask level 5

I recommend you checking if the task that you are selecting to add the subtask, already have more levels of subtasks and you are hitting the limit.

Looking forward to your reply!

Hi Emily!

We have tried all troubleshooting steps before coming to the forum. The problem persists, in multiple browsers.

There are 0 levels to our tasks at the moment. All tasks are top level and we try to add a task to 1 level down the tree.
