    If you structure the tabel as 

     

    Start                Duration    Parent    Task      Complete     Resource

    2018-01-01     0                               AAA

    2018-01-01     10              AAA        A1         10%             Name1

    2018-01-15     20              AAA        A2          30%            Name2

    2018-02-01     40                            BBB         0%             Name 3

     

    You will get an arrow at the parent AAA.

Appreciate it Anonymous.

 

The linked file doesn't have the dropdowns like your screenshot. Apologies if I'm missing something simple.

I'm experiencing the same issue; the items appear but as separate 'tasks' and not as dropdowns of the parent. Would appreciate any solutions or workarounds.

    Hi Aash_

     

    Apologies, I haven't worked out yet how Anonymous's screenshot came about. 

     

    It may be to do with versions (a prior version had functionality and it's now no longer working. Maybe, I don't yet know).

    I am also having trouble with this. The subtasks do group by parent, and the parent task has a bolder color. However, no arrow to colapse the subtasks. I think this is a critical feature and should be added as an obvious Formating selection. Thanks!
