How can I stop MLO treating child tasks as (potential) Actions?

[John . Smith]

Hello 

This is probably a stupid question but...

Is there anything I can do to stop MLO treating my child 'tasks' of a (real-world) task as if they are Actionable actions?

i.e. I want a task which has children below it (i.e. a 'Parent' task) to appear as if it itself is an Active Action, even though it does has children tasks.

Background

My problem is that I want to create a tick-list for a Task, but I want the Task itself (rather than the first of the tick-list items) to appear in my Active Actions view (which is 'flat' and non-hierarchical).

So is there any way to 'neutralise' certain child tasks and get MLO to treat them as reference information (i.e. to basically ignore it from the Active/Inactive logic)

Cheers

What I really want is "hide the children - not the branch itself - from To-Do"...   but yes if I select all the children at once an apply that condition it does the job.

Good suggestion - many thanks! :)

Or you insert a first "branch" of sub-children, so that you can further ad children without having to set "hide" again.

Yes, not a bad workaround, although it may slightly get in the way later... 
Thanks
