Sub-tasks are not showing up on my project’s calendar view. They do have due dates assigned to them as it’s stated they need to.

It’s really critical that our sub-tasks also show in calendar view, can anyone help?

They do show up in Calendar views so we may have a slight problem with how they are associated with your project. Make sure that the sub-task is associated with the project you are viewing [with the sub-task open hit TAB+B] and check that the project name is listed. Also, check permissions on the parent to make sure that it can be seen. Here is a helpful section of the guide that will walk you through all of these steps. Subtasks You are also correct that they do have to have Due Dates to show in the calendar view.

I see what you mean, but it’s a little frustrating to have to see all of the subtasks also in the list view, then what is the point of making them sub-tasks if they’re just going to show up in the midst of everything else anyway? Is there any way to see sub-tasks in calendar view but not on the list mixed in with the tasks they are under?

Currently you can’t view it in Calendar view and not in the List view. I know that is not what you want to hear based on your use-case.
If I can insert an opinion that may help? I’m not a big fan of more than a few sub-tasks per project. I teach my clients that if you have many sub-tasks then they need to see if the main project could be broken into smaller, more manageable “chunks.”

Hello!

Is there any update on this since winter 2019? I’d love to be able to see subtasks on my calendar view but cannot.

Thank you,
Whitney

Sad to see that it has been 3 year (actually 5, if you refer to this post Why subtasks don't appear in your Project Calendar). And it is not addressed, though it a major issue with the subtasks which to my opinion makes them pretty much useless.

The proposed workaround actually confirms the uselessness as it basically makes the subtask work as a higher order task. If one wanted so he could’ve make it a higher order task from the very beginning.
