Converting a Subtask to a Task
TL;DR
Convert a subtask into a standalone task by dragging and dropping it into any space, project, or folder - or by using the "Outdent" option in the subtask's three-dot menu. This lets you delete the parent task while keeping the subtask. If no location is selected, it moves to Shared with me.

You can convert a subtask into a task, i.e., if you need to delete the parent task but keep the subtask.
Detach a subtask from a task:
- Open the space, project or the folder where the subtask is located.
-
Move the subtask by dragging and dropping it into any folder, space, or project where you want it to be an independent task.
Note
You can do the same on the table portion of Gantt Chart.
-
You can also do this by clicking the subtask’s three-dot menu and then by clicking the Outdent option.
Your subtask is now a regular task in the folder, project, or space you added it to.
Note
If you don't add your subtask to a folder, project, or space before detaching it, your subtask becomes a regular task in the Shared with me section.
