Move a task to subtask
(closed account) says:
Pro, beta.
Has anyone ever tried to do this?
I've created a task - let's call it 'Brush Teeth' I subsequently made a task called - 'Get ready for work' and want to move 'Brush teeth' to sub-task status.
Is there an easy way to do this, or do i need to recreate the task and all my notes? I'd like to keep the history of the task in place, if at all possible.

Hi angie.kalamas,
You can drag the "Brush teeth" task over the "Get ready for work" task to make it a subtask. Hope this helps!

Hi syeberman, I tried to turn a subtask into a task and it works (web client, Pro Tester Program):
1. Open the appropriate task list (destination list for your subtask, where you want to place it)
2. To the left of your subtasks description you see three vertically aligned dots, place your cursor on these dots (cursor will change to a hand)
3. Left click and drag the subtask into the task list in the task window
Voilà: your subtask has become a task and will be displayed in the relevant task list!
It only works when a specified task list is selected, there will be error messages if you smart list "All tasks" is selected.
Hope that helps

Thanks for sharing, hartmut.junge!
Aside from moving a subtask to a task in the same list, you can also drag the subtask to a different list in the sidebar to move it to a different list. :)
