At your other company, it was most likely an add-on from the Marketplace that allowed for related or nested action items/tasks.
You could ask your Atlassian admin to look thru the Marketplace to find something that would fit your needs.
However, your use case seems better fitted for Trello than Confluence, I would suggest looking into Trello or creating a Jira project.
Thanks for the suggestion, I'll ask them to have a look in Marketplace.
This use case really is not for Trello or Jira, it's for "remember this one action item in this 50-line meeting minutes or problem-solving notes page which is part of an larger overall set of processes or notes", or on a documentation page where someone needs to fill in one particular thing, etc. In a perfect world the bigger action items get turned into Jira issues or Trello cards, but for the "@John add the expected completion date here" kind of thing, it's ideal. When it exists.
Also, without it, it makes the "Task Report" a bit pointless, when it can be an extremely useful tool that is completely lacking in Sharepoint and OneNote.

Update: I'm finding success by adding in fake lines of text, then going back and making indents, which can be turned into action items. I have the strong impression that I'm using a bug as a feature, but at least it seems to be working for me for now.
