Really wish this would get implemented. This suggestion is 4 years old. Having read the history, I know the current behavior is an intentional choice, which tells me there’s a reason. But it’s not conducive to many methodologies. It could be added as a setting in ‘Settings>Display>Advanced options’ as a checkbox. That way, the people who want to use nesting can, while the ones who prefer it the way it is can leave it.

I just wanted to note that this key request (disclaimer: I was the one who created it a while ago) now has the Considered tag, which means that Asana has it on their radar. No guarantees, but encouraging!

Thanks,

Larry

I don’t like to use ‘my Tasks’ at all as it’s super messy the way it’s showing subtasks completely separate from their main task. It would be great to have the option to show subtasks grouped under their main task with the little expand/hide arrow as in regular projects.

Is this what you want?

@ka_nishiyama, yes that’s exactly it. If the main task is assigned to someone else then fair enough maybe it wouldn’t be available there but certainly for main and subtasks that are all assigned to the same person it would be fantastic to have the option to group them like that. As it is at the moment it’s looking very messy and stresses me just looking at it lol.

@Sof_M,

I think you may want to vote for this request:

I think you’re asking for something different, though, so I won’t merge this topic into that one.

Thanks,

Larry

I merged it literally the same minute @lpb posted his message. I think it’s pretty much the same request?

Hi all,

Joining the thread here to emphasize my desire for this feature too.

I don’t think this change would be confusing in the slightest. I’m a new asana user so my mind is not steeped in the existing design choices. This feature feels obvious and so useful to me.

I want to see all of my tasks and subtasks in the same place, the same view. I want “My Tasks” to show me everything. I don’t want to have to open the details view, now need to focus on a whole section of the page that’s mostly irrelevant to me (as I’m not the kind of user that puts a bunch of context into a task’s details section). It’s sort of like the complexity of all the things I could do in asana is obscuring the main point of the app which is to allow us to make a list of tasks (and thus easily see subtasks) and collaborate w others, etc.

I just want to make a simple list of tasks and subtasks and see them all in the same place quickly. The friction of opening up the details panel is frustrating.

What I like about it is it give optionality and customization to the user to design their interface the way they’d like to use it. Some users might be very detailed and want to add a bunch of context to the details panel and thus having subtasks in the details panel will suit them – great! Some users (myself included) will utilize the drop down arrow to show subtasks in “My Tasks” – great! Those who don’t like the drop down arrow wont use it. I wont look at the details panel to find my subtasks. Everyone is happy.

I’m considering making a Project that I call “My Tasks” but that will mean other challenges.

This feels really simple and necessary. Please consider! It would be such a worthwhile change. :folded_hands:

Saddened to see how long this thread has been open. Big oof.

I’d like to be able to expand / collapse my subtasks when looking at tasks from the “My Task” List menu. Currently, you can only see subtasks by opening a task entirely and then scrolling to the section for subtasks.

It would be better to at least have the option to expand / collapse like we are able to do in a regular project list - this makes it difficult to fully work out of “my tasks” menu because I do rely on quickly reviewing subtasks.

Voted. It’s actually insane that this is still not a feature.

Voted! I think this is another clear example of the need to Make functionality in live projects, project templates, and my tasks consistent
