Question: Tasks with Subtasks Don't Get Added to Calendar

[Noel]

Hi,

Tasks that have sub-tasks do no get added to the calendar when they should.

I only want to add tasks to the calendar that have due dates, so I tick the option "Display Due Dates" and untick "Display tasks as continuous between their start and due dates"

But when the task has sub-tasks it doesn't get added to the calendar.

It seems to happen with every version I've tested.

Not sure if it's me or a bug. ;-) but I sure would like to find a solution to this problem.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Noel

Yes, this was just how I designed it originally in an attempt to make the number of calendar items more manageable.

I'll add a Calendar preference in 7.2 to control this.

Hi Dan,

Thanks for your reply!

It would be another amazing addition to Todolist.

A todo list app, with calendar, kanban, and mindmap view all in one is just incredibly useful.

Currently, I can't really use the calendar as I need tasks with subtasks to appear in the calendar even more so than little subtasks itself. The main tasks of a parent task usually have subtasks, but I need those main tasks in the calendar to have a better overview of what I have to do each day. The little tasks that make up a main task would add confusion the calendar. At least in the way I work.

Thanks for your time,

Noel

Thanks for the explanation Noel, it makes heaps of sense now.

The extra preference will appear in 7.2.B5

That's great to hear.

Thank you very much.
