Organising Template Subtasks

[Akua_Gyamfi]

Hey all,

I’m struggling to find the functionality that allows us to add headings to our subtasks on a task / task template.

There’s an example task ‘Blogs’ in ‘Editorial Calendar’ the subtasks of that example are grouped into categories with a title for example:
WRITE
outline
first draft
social copy

then the next grouping of subtasks are under

PUBLISH
first review
revise
final review

Please advise

Hmmm thank you. I’m using a Mac. So I think that Tab on a PC is the same as Command on a Mac.

I also tried Option + N just in case and it just creates a symbol.

I go to subtasks click on it … still nothing

screenshot because I’m not great at explaining …

Thank you so much for replying so swiftly

Isn’t the Tab key above the Caps lock key on Macs?

Click on any subtask and then hit tab+N
