'my tasks' list does not show projects associated to subtask

[Ela_Gold]

In ‘my tasks’ it does not show the project associated with the subtask.

As subtasks show independently of the main task in my ‘due today’ I can’t sort them by project unless I click on them to find out what project they belong to.

If I then assign them to their project, they show up double in the project. (obviously, because they are already assigned within a project)

If I try to delete the double from the project, it deletes the subtask completely.

Why is it only showing the associated project on tasks and not subtasks?

Hey @Ela_Gold, welcome to the Asana Community Forum

This might answer your question:

I can confirm that this is currently the expected behaviour. Let me give you some context to explain why.

When selecting the subtask and dragging it to a different section, you are automatically adding it to the project (since you are nesting it in a section within the project). This is the reason why you can now see it behaving as an independent task within the project.

To avoid that behaviour, I would suggest you to only select the task to drag and drop it to a different section.

When a Subtask is associated to a Project , it will automatically appear in that project’s task list.

Hi @Ela_Gold, adding to what @Andrea_Mayer mentioned, please note this is currently working as expected. Subtasks don’t inherit the parent project so you would too manually add the subtask to the project: Subtask & Project Association

Hope this helps!
