Hi Everyone Hope you’re all well. For some reason (this only happened recently), my subtasks are not visible below my main tasks via a dropdown arrow. As you can see from the image below, the top example has x2 subtasks but the dropdown arrow is missing? ![Screenshot 2020-06-15 at 05.29.35](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/asana/original/3X/0/3/03a26d368649c3e13d0b03e350ca45fe1ac0dad9.png) I just ran a test on a new project, added a subtask and this seems to appear as expected. Any ideas? Im thinking it’s because said project has over 100 tasks and its a browser memory issue? Have the same results using Safari and Chrome. Thanks in advance. ---

Hi @anon28232534 and welcome to the forum! Most likely on the project where the nested subtasks are not showing, you have the view sorted and/or filtered. Subtasks only display in the list view if there’s no sorting or filtering. If you’re interested, you can add your vote to have them displayed with sorting/filtering here: > [@Display subtasks on List view when project is filtered/sorted](https://forum.asana.com/t/display-subtasks-on-list-view-when-project-is-filtered-sorted/71920): > > 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. ---

This was the answer I was looking for, thank you! How do we get this feature removed, or at least optional? A lot of my team members who manage their own boards prefer to have specific views, and it seems like they have to sacrifice functionality (the drop-down) to be able to do that. Sacrificing for customization doesn’t seem like a great thing ---
