[Feature]: Fold and Unfold longer tasks

[JJger148]

Goal or desired outcome of this feature

When I have a longer task, I want the heading to be displayed, but the subtasks only to be revealed when I click on it.

Describe the feature

This would make the Kanban useful for many large lists.

Can you think of any alternatives or work-arounds?

I like to second that enhancement request. I just started using kanbanboard in Obsidian after using Trello for some time. I really like the compact presentation with when opening/selecting a card showing more detail that Trello has.

I understand you are not making a Trello clone but as it currently is using any kind of elaborate cards will create an very long list that is not very manageable. Specially with the widt of 276 pixels.

Here's a "poor man's" method for Windows, using a batch file and CSS snippet. Find and open your css snippets folder in Obsidian under Settings > Appearance Create this batch file as ToggleLargest.bat :

@echo off
cd [full path of your snippets folder]
if exist largest.big (
echo div[class*="largest"]{height: 30px; overflow: hidden;} > largest.css
del largest.big
exit
) ELSE (
echo dXiv[class*="largest"]{height: 30px; overflow: hidden;} > largest.css
echo x > largest.big
)

Execute it if you're comfortable doing so. If you have the path right the bat should create "largest.css" and "largest.big" in your snippets folder.

Now restart Obsidian and return to Settings > Appearance . You should see "largest" among your css snippets. Slider to the right to apply it.

Now drag ToggleLargest.bat from your snippets folder onto a Kanban card. Notice you'll be creating a copy of the bat in your vault, and that's what's going to run. So if you change ToggleLargest.bat in snippets, a click on it in your card will continue to execute the older version in your vault. You've gotta drag the changed bat file in again; the system will add a numeric value to the name, unless you've deleted the older bats in the vault.

Now add the tag #largest to some of your longer cards. Try clicking ToggleLargest.bat in your kanban card to expand or collapse the cards you've tagged.

Just a proof of concept. I'd love to see something similar in the plugin.

Cheers...Jerome
