Is it possible to convert a subtask to a task?

I found a solution - which I believe may be what Emmanuel_Reyes was getting at above… 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 think she refers to the screen displayed on the right side when you select any task, then that is the ‘split screen’. 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 that’s al…

No dragging needed. From any subtask, click the breadcrumbs in the top right (“…”) Click “Add to projects”. 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 …

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

I am missing something very obvious, where do I drag. In the details pane of the individual subtask where do I click to drag?

Oh my gosh @jeremyw , yes that helped. I needed the “grab at the far left side” 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!! :raised_hands:t4:

I’ve tried this, and it doesn’t 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 :no_entry_sign: and doesn’t let me drop.

At first, I thought this wasn’t 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 you’re like me and are still struggling, also make sure you have the “sort” on your project set to “None”. If you have “Sort” set to “Due Date”, like I did, you will be hitting your head against a wall for weeks.
