Feature Request: Hide Sub-Tasks In To-Do List

[Eli]

Hi,

I love the ability to hide a branch in the todo, but I would find it
really usefull if you could hide all subtasks of a task, but not the
task itself. This would do a lot to keep my todo list clean from so
many project details.

Hope that makes sense.

Thanks!

Hi, Eli.
Somewhere in the settings for shortcuts (or hot keys) is a setting for how many levels of sub tasks should be shown. If you don't see or can't find it I will send you something more specific tomorrow.
I presume this would allow you to choose a setting that would show your parent task and hide the sub tasks. But I believe the setting would apply across your whole database. Would that meet your need or do you need to set it for a specific branch?

I'd love this feature, especially if the subtasks showed up as a tab next to the task notes and properties.  As an example, your task would be "go to the grocery store."  The subtasks of "buy milk", "buy bread" would then show up over on the right panel as a checklist.

Can't you just group by Parent or TopLevelParent and collapse the branch you don't want to see?

I do have a top level task view.  I needed a Kludge to make this work.  I add <> to my folders.  Then I can look at tasks with "parent name contains <>"  in an "all" view.  Of course you have to exclude "completed", "hide in todo", "folders" and tasks with "start dates after now."

I use that technique to look at a task list of "mow lawn" and "go to grocery store" instead of "milk", "bread", "mow lawn", "apples", "bananas", etc...  What I do is mark checklists tasks like "go to grocery store" with the "tick" context.  So the "go to grocery store" and all of its subtasks have the "tick" context.

Then you can create a view with:

context does not contain tick and active action
  or
context contains tick and parent name contains <>

That will give you normal active actions and the parent task of the checklists.  That works on the desktop PC version of the software in any rate...
