At the moment I find that in Board View, we can only view subtask checklists once we click on the specific task. Is it possible to view the subtask checklists (& quick notes maybe) when I view the project board? Then we can easily check off and move tasks from column to column without having to click each individual task to do so. At a glance quick notes would help too! Perhaps make these an option to toggle on and off?
Also option on Board View to switch between clicking on tasks and having a pop-up versus a side pane like in List View?
Hi the only way you can make sub tasks appear in the board view is they are a task in the projectā¦ You add the by doing alt+P in the SubTasks the add the parent project name.
I love the boards concept, but itās pretty inflexible. For instance: it would be helpful to have an option to view subtasks in the board as tasks. Even making subtasks tasks ā like in a list view ā would be helpful.
Hi @thehilker! In Boards, to make sure your subtasks appear on the Board (like all tasks do), simply associate your subtask with their parent task project. You can do so by opening the subtask and using the āTab+Pā shortcut to open the project fields.
Task cards in kanban boards ā> would be great if I could see the sub-tasks in smaller font underneath the task title without opening up the task card
Welcome to the Community Forum @Ingrid and thanks for sharing this great feedback!

I totally agree! It would be terrific if the subtasks were viewable within the main task tile in boards. This would allow a quick overview of progress within each task. We use Asana at our civil construction company and have many tasks with subtasks. Would save a huge amount of time not to have to click into every task to see where it is at.
Completely back this feature request, Iāve voted! But Iād like to share with you all my workaround for this, because you can have sub tasks on the board, it just requires you to create them in a special way:
On the board, click the + to add a new task
Click on the task so that its detail view appears
Unfold the ā¦ menu on the top right
Unfold the āMove Taskā submenu item
Select āMake a Subtask ofā¦ā
Find and select the parent task in the input box
Ta da, the task should now be a subtask of the selected parent and also be visible on the board.
Itās a small hassle, but ultimately youād only have to do it once during creation as opposed to going to the parent every time you need the subtask.
Hi @Groove_Academy_Schoo, welcome to the Community Forum! This is a great question. We already have a tread on this request. I have gone ahead a merged your post with Subtasks in Board View to centralize feedback. I hope you donāt mind!
I would love to see some of the quick view info that Trello and Jira use. In the case of Trello, noting the number of sub-tasks completed out of the total sub-tasks attached to that task (i.e. 22/30, where 22 subtasks are completed our of 30 total sub-tasks). This would highlight that sub-tasks are present - and current status - on the task board. Trello also notes with an icon if there is a description on the task, etc. These are great visual prompts for project managers. Hopefully something easy to implement?
Are there any updates on this? Neither of the workarounds mentioned above seem to work for me. āmove subtaskā is not an option that appears in any of my ā¦ menus, and alt+p (or option +p or control +p or fn + p) doesnāt do anything. Are those only available on certain Asana versions? I have Premium and am using the web interface on a Mac.
Adding to the project creates an entirely separate card which can quickly clutter up your project boards if you have multiple tasks with multiple subtasks in the same project.
What is really needed is for the subtasks to be viewable on the card and the ability to mark them as done directly from the card in board view. That way all tasks can have subtasks within one project that you can easily manage without the amount of cards on the board view growing unwieldly .
Seems like the forum team are getting confused between subtasks and tasks. Within a task card on the board view, instead of just showing the tree with a count of the subtasks, please let us display the subtasks on the task card
