Viewing parent task in searches

I have a saved search, “Due in 7-days or top-priority”. Some of the tasks that appear under this search are subtasks and don’t make sense without the context of the parent task. However, clicking the icon then replaces the subtask with the parent task only and then I have to work from that position.
Some task managers I’ve used before have the facility to view a subtask with the parent task prefixed on the same line, for example: “Plan conference > Organise food”. Is that possible in Toodledo? With many thanks for any help you can offer. |

Even if the Parent titles are abbreviated to say the first 20 characters it would be OK, if they are shown fully in the pop-out on cursor over. Convenience and clarity would then continue to drive the design changes. |

Hi and thanks for responding. It is set to indented and that shows fine when I'm viewing all tasks. However, in saved searches, because the parent task doesn't fall within the search criteria I've set, “Due in 7-days or top-priority”, it doesn't appear.

You need to change your Settings under Modify Subtask Settings, the last option at the bottom of the list is "Indented mode shows all subtasks nested, even if the parent shouldn't be visible". Give that a try.

Thanks for the suggestion - I hadn't been aware of this.
I think that the only improvement i would like design wise would, in Toodledo terms, be classed as “Subtasks styled with parent task”. I might suggest it to Toodledo. Many thanks again for taking time out to help. This message was edited Oct 02, 2015. |
