2 years ago As for the endless hierarchy... nope, won't come. In fact, this was implemented in very early stages of the app (which was nearly 10 years ago) and what shall I say: Did more harm than it helped 😉
As for the tasks: I am - to be honest - a bit skeptic and would rather keep these items as simple as possible. Why that?
- Currently, the tasks are designed such that they don't require yet another sub-page to "open" them to edit their properties. They only have a title and a done state - that's it.
- If we start adding additional meta data to them, we need some kind of user interface, so either this would need to be hidden within some context menues (bad from a UX perspective) or we would finally need to allow opening these items to display such information and allow the user to edit these there.
I know that - for a user - this might be a bit annoying, but let me ask the other way round: What is your concrete use case where you think you need to have due dates on these sub-tasks? Maybe that use case could be modelled with other means that already are implemented within the app.
Endless hierarchy of sub-tasks would be ideal, but it would be great if tasks were just sub-todos that could also show on the schedule page.
