**Convert Tasks to Subtask-**

-   Navigate to task list of the specific project.
-   Click on 3-dot icon of the specific parent task for which you want to convert to subtasks. Further click on **Convert to Subtask**. If you are unable to find the option, then there should be the Subsub tasks associated with it.
