Hello When I look in my tasks, all the subtasks assigned to me (in the “Later” section) so in “No project”. Is that normal or did we set-up the parent task incorrectly? thank you

Hi folks, for anyone interested, we have an automated solution that will get your child tasks to inherit specific fields from the parent task. You can configure which fields should be inherited, like project, section, assignment, and due date. We can also work with you to get custom fields implement…

Did your team ever make progress on this? This is one of the most frustrating things about our current roll-out of Asana.

New to thread. For me, the issue was noticed when I did a custom search for tasks in projects owned by me, and could not figure out why I was missing tasks in the report (especially since the subtask “any” filter was on). This makes it much harder to manage projects. Adding the subtasks to the proje…

If I lived in a world where I managed shopping lists for a small family of 2, this would help. I don’t… so this really sucks.

I too am confused about what is the actual use case to have sub tasks not linked to the project they sit in? eg the task is in a project and the subtask is connected to that task! how is not having it linked to the project helpful in managing tasks and projects?

@James_Carl , that is a good point. There are some issues that come with Subtasks not being a part of the Project by default. But as you point out, adding the Subtasks automatically to the Project would introduce new issues. I would love to see a holistic improvement to Subtasks. Not only that th…

Since we have a large number of clients, we are using a project as our client list with each client listed as a task and then use other projects for each body of work we do. Subtasks are then critical for us, we create a subtask to the main client task in the client list and then assign it to the a…

This has been the biggest pain point for our company using Asana for the last 2 years and almost sparked a migration to another product twice during that period. We are looking forward to a solution, I’d love to keep using this tool for our business. Thanks for looking into it and working on it, p…
