@Christine_Padberg, It sounds like you want your task template to have subtask sections; that is not supported currently. See this for details: > [@Introducing templates, for Tasks!](https://forum.asana.com/t/introducing-templates-for-tasks/110728/3): > > This is great! It will be incredibly useful. @Michael-Chen, If you happen to create a task template from a task that has a subtask section, something unfortunate happens: The following subtask (below the subtask section) is rendered as a subtask section, not a subtask, in the instantiated task. I think this is a “gotcha” and it’s frustrating to roll out something new that I would consider broken (even if you consider this as not supported, it will trip people up and not meet expectations). Als… I could use Task actions \> Convert task to template, but it gets fouled up on instantiation; regular subtasks become subtask sections. I hope this is fixed but nothing promised.
