**Briefly describe (1-2 sentences) the Bug you’re experiencing:**

What is OK: We have one task in two different places in one of our templates, which behaves like one as intended.

What is NOT OK: When we use the new template it behaves as two separate tasks in the new project.

**Steps to reproduce:**

The task is in the template’s root and is a subtask of a different task in the root at the same time. It should work this way in the project too.
