Having two active tasks while using complete subtasks in order

[Bedrudin]

Hello,

just wanted to share a hint about MLO Feature "Complete subtasks in order", how to have two tasks active although using "Complete subtasks in order"-setting.

If you have a parent task "Invite family for dinner" and you have subtasks "Call Mom", "Call Dad", "Call brother" and "buy ingredients" and "cook", then it is a good idea to complete these subtasks in order using the MLO feature. Then MLO will show only the first task in the To-Do-Tab, in this case "Call Mom" because it is the most top task in the list of subtasks. If I now want to have more than one of these subtasks displayed in the todo-tab I do the following: Create a subfolder/subtask as a child of the parent and move the tasks that you want to show up at same time into this folder. As example, we create a subfolder "Invitation calls" and move our three phone calls "Call Mom", "Call Dad", "Call brother" there. Now the three calls will show up in the todo-tab and as soon as all three are completed then "buy ingredients" will show up.
