Is it possible to convert a subtask to a task?
I think best way is to drag and drop subtask to some project list or drag and drop it to your My Task list. You have to do it from parent task view.

Could you send print screen from where you trying to do this? I couldnāt find another way. I can send you mov screen where you can see how I do it.

If you could send me a mov screen, that would be great.

Ok, now I can see your problem. In this case you have at least two ways:
- assign parent task to to yourself, go to My Task and then you have split view as I had
- got search field, search for Bruno Deā¦ and this particular task (Regeling regulier ā¦). When you click this task, you also have split view (be careful with this, because when you drag and drop subtask to His (Bruno) list, task will be assigned to him)
I hope this would help.

Iām not seeing the split screen view that you used to do this. Are you on an app? I use the browser view almost exclusively. Is it possible to convert subtask to task in browser mode?
I think she refers to the screen displayed on the right side when you select any task, then that is the āsplit screenā.
What worked for me was own the task parent, own the subtasks, and then drag and drop the subtask from the inside of the parent task to the dashboard of any coworker, and thatās all
No dragging needed.
- From any subtask, click the breadcrumbs in the top right (āā¦ā)
- Click āAdd to projectsā. Alternatively, press Tab + P.
- It will then ask you which project to add it to. Whatever you choose, your subtask will become a new task card on that project.
Keep in mind that the original subtask and the new standalone task will be still connected, which isnāt immediately apparent. But if you change details on the new standalone task, youāll notice that those edits will be reflected in the original subtask.

Yes but I want to have ONLY the task under project and not connected subtask. Solution?

I found a solution - which I believe may be what Emmanuel_Reyes was getting at aboveā¦
- Go to the project in question
- From the list view, click a task to open the details panel
- You can now drag an individual subtask from details panel (on right) over to the project panel (on left)

I am missing something very obvious, where do I drag. In the details pane of the individual subtask where do I click to drag?
Hereās a screenshot that hopefully helps. You have to grab the subtask at the far left side to move it. Then just drag over to the list side and wait for the line appear where you want to drop itā¦

Oh my gosh @jeremyw, yes that helped. I needed the āgrab at the far left sideā because even though I knew the 6 dots were there for moving up and down, I did not piece it together that that was how the task could be moved generally. THANK YOU!!

Iāve tried this, and it doesnāt work. When I want to drop it into the existing list on the left, it lets me kind of drag it, but it has a black 
and doesnāt let me drop.
At first, I thought this wasnāt working. It allows you to drag the subtask over to the project, which highlights, and when you drop it, nothing happens. In fact, something did happen, but I had my list showing only completed tasks. As soon as I switched it to incomplete, it works as described.

In case youāre like me and are still struggling, also make sure you have the āsortā on your project set to āNoneā. If you have āSortā set to āDue Dateā, like I did, you will be hitting your head against a wall for weeks.

THANK YOU for this ā I was having to chase my tail by dropping the subtasks into a new section at the top, then move it into a new section, clear the unnamed section, take a drink, stretch, cross myself, rinse, and repeat. Not anymore!
