Can't add a subtask to an existing task
I work for a company which is a subsidiary of a larger company; recently I've been occasionally tasked with work from the parent company, and they've asked me to keep that time separately. I'd like to keep both in the same group so that I can easily see my total hours, but "Add Subtask" is not available as an option in TimeLime when I try to add it to the existing task (even though it's available for every other task in my list)
Why?

Hi John,
I can think of two reasons why “Add Subtask” is not available:
- You are trying to add a subtask to a nested task of level 3. Timelime supports a maximum of 3 task levels.
- Or you are trying to add a subtask to an archived task.
Is any of these the case?

Hi, neither of those was the case, but in the meantime I tried dragging the second task over the first one in the list, and it asked me if I would like to make both tasks part of a new task... which I did, and that solves the problem. I can now see total hours for the main task and see the subtask hours separately.
Thanks!
