Briefly describe (1-2 sentences) the Bug you’re experiencing:
When I try to “make subtask of” another task, the little search bar where you enter the name of the task you want to move it to won’t find all tasks with that name. I can’t find a way to expand the list to show more tasks. It doesn’t even display the tasks within the same project. It only shows a few subtasks with similar names, and one parent task from a totally different project.
This seems to be a new bug, since I go through this process weekly and have not had this problem before.
Steps to reproduce:
Click into the subtask
Click the three dots, select advanced options, and make subtask of.
Begin typing the name of the task I’d like to make it a subtask of.
The search only comes up with a few possible tasks, but none are the ones I’m looking for. (I know the task exists, because I am looking right at it in the left pane.)
If I tap “enter” instead of expanding the list (like a normal search does) it just puts the subtask into the first task in the search list.

Upload screenshots below:
In the screenshot the task circled in the left pane does not show up in the available options of the search on the right pane. (both are in the same project)
Unfortunately the search bar still does not find all the tasks with that name, and there is no option to “see more results.”
I have found a workaround, that if I go into the destination task and make some change (i.e. adding a space after the name or something miniscule) the task will then show up in the search since I recently accessed it. Definitely not ideal, and not the functionality it had before, but I can at least proceed with my work.
I’m still having this issue. Has there been any developments or Has anyone else reported this bug? Unfortunately my workaround of editing the task name stopped isn’t working anymore. I even created a brand new task, and the “convert to subtask” search doesn’t even see the new task. There seems to be no consistency and it doesn’t happen with every task I’m trying to affect. I am noticing though that the advanced search now isn’t finding certain tasks either. (That might be a new aspect of the same issue.)
Drag and drop doesn’t help, since that just makes them into parent tasks. I can’t just re-create the tasks, since there has been change history, attachments etc. that we need to retain. So all the subtasks I need to re-home are just stuck since I can’t put them into the appropriate tasks.
Thanks @Rebecca_McGrath , Yea, I can see how they might not be able to reproduce it since it’s been so inconsistent. Hopefully I can figure out another workaround. Thanks for your continued efforts.
