Creating a new Project with Sub Tasks which needs to be displayed on the Parent Task.  
When Importing as attached, its creating the task on it’s own and not on the original Parent Task.

I would thought it would have imported as follow

When you export this project, it exports the same template I used to import and the Tags are now also blank

Please advise how to import Parent task with Sub Tasks linked to it

As a new user, I had to remove the screen shots as examples

Hi @anon98083677 and welcome to the forum!

The field needs to be called `Subtask of`, not `Parent task`. See here for that info and other details on CSV importing:
