Creating Subprojects
All users except collaborators can create and edit subprojects.
Note
This option might not be available on Business accounts and higher due to custom item types suggestions settings.
Subprojects live within parent projects and help you organize your workspace. Apart from their location within the project structure, subprojects have the same properties as projects. You can add tasks, set a status, color code, share, etc., and even add additional levels of subprojects.
It's possible for a subproject to have multiple parent projects or folders that can be located in a variety of spaces. They're generally referred to as tags.
Subprojects are automatically shared with all users who have access to the parent project or folder, but users in Enterprise accounts can use selective sharing to change this.
Because subprojects are projects inside other projects, they can be created in the same way.

Navigate to the space where you want to create a subproject and then open the project you'll use as a parent project.

Use the + 1 at the top right corner of your workspace, and select Project 2 from the drop-down, or

You can add a subproject to a project, or convert a project into a subproject easily. Either drag and drop in the left-hand navigation (provided you want to make it a subproject in the same space) or use tags.
-
In the sidebar, find the project you want to add as a subproject.
-
Click and drag it over another project or a project in the sidebar.
-
Release your mouse.
The project you dragged is added as a subproject of the item you dragged it into.
-
In Table view click on the project info icon 1 to open the item view of the project you want to add as a subproject.
-
The tags are listed under the project's title. Click + 2 to add a tag, and hover over and click x 3 to remove a tag.
-
When you tag the project with another project, it becomes a subproject there. It also remains accessible in its original location.
