This is a good list!. I would also add from my work with the CSV to PDF [CSV To Asana Simple List Generator- My Gift To Community - #21 by James\_Carl](https://forum.asana.com/t/csv-to-asana-simple-list-generator-my-gift-to-community/1815/21) that Asana please have subtasks automatically add the Project of its parent task. The idea of subtasks floating around as unattached to a project causes not only problems for the free report I had written for the community but a general problem on many many uses and searches.
