Limited visibility and management of nested subtasks in list view

Users are frustrated that Asana only allows expanding the first level of subtasks in the list view, making nested subtasks invisible. This forces users to open each task individually to manage deeper hierarchies, which is time-consuming and hinders project overviews.

second-level subtasks are not visible at all in the project list (or in any other project view)

You allow 5 levels of subtasks but only display the first level of subtasks in the list view

Could you allow the drilldown at a second level on the list view? It’ll save extra clicks from having to open a task and then the subtasks.

basically a way to view/add/mark complete subtasks without having to completely open each subtask individually

The current UX around moving subtasks is insanely convoluted.
