Title: Add the ability to allocate tasks under major project categories (e.g., Direct, Indirect) and create sub-tasks in Xero Projects for better project summary management

Description: Currently, in Xero Projects, there is no option to allocate tasks under broader categories (such as Direct, Indirect) or create sub-tasks within a project. This limits the ability to organize and simplify project summaries, especially for larger projects with multiple facets.

A more efficient way to manage complex projects would be to:

Allocate tasks under major project categories like "Direct" (e.g., Manufacturing, Certification & Testing), "Indirect" (e.g., Design, Development), and Other" (e.g., Client Engagement, Trade Shows).

Enable sub-task creation within each major task, so teams can break down larger tasks into smaller, more manageable components.

This would allow for a more organized structure within the projects, making it easier to generate a comprehensive project summary and track progress across different task categories. The ability to view task allocations based on categories such as "Direct" or "Indirect" would simplify reporting and improve overall project management.

Benefits:

Better organization by categorizing tasks under overarching project themes (Direct, Indirect, etc.).

Improved task breakdown with sub-tasks, leading to better project tracking and reporting.
Simplified project summaries for large, complex projects.

Enhanced flexibility in reporting, which allows teams to easily focus on specific categories of work.

This feature would enhance Xero Projects’ usability, especially for businesses managing large-scale projects with diverse components.
