This is intended, subtasks don’t technically belong to the project.

There is no inheritance from task to subtask.
The only link between a task and a subtask, is the subtask have an attribute “parent” that is the id of the parent.
That’s all.
A subtask is exactly like a task. No, it’s not like… it IS a task.

In fact, you can have a master task, assigned to user U1, in project P1, and its subtask assigned to user U2 in project P2.
You will see the subtask as a normal task, when looking at tasks of project P2 or user U2!
