Try toggling on 'Tasks settings > Show subtasks', when this is enabled then subtasks will also be hidden
Thanks.
'Tasks settings > Show subtasks', is enabled. To show problem: Create new task. Set date. Create some subtasks using the same form select hide using same form select save Task list now shows all subtasks in list but hides main task. The result is if main task is 'purchase widgets' and subtasks are 'get supplier price', 'complete purchase order' only the subtasks appear in the list so there is no context and no way to separate from other 'get supplier price' and complete purchase order' subtasks.
If subtasks can inherent attributes from main task then by default they would have same date and hide status.

Sorry, I see what you're saying now. I'm going to have to think about how to solve this
I may add to this request that subtasks also need the same tags as it's parent. If not, all subtasks appear in the uncategorized section, but not it's parents. What do you say?
Yes. I didn't think of that.
One other thing is tasks created without using the normal entry screen, say from being synchronised or as a sub-task don't get the defaults applied. Can those properties also be transferred?
Thanks.

I'm a new user and am very happy to make the switch from a closed, proprietary application to one that is FLOSS and well-made. Being able to define recursive subtasks is very useful.
I think a subtask should be inextricably* linked to its parent. This is what that would entail:
Completing a parent task would automatically complete its subtasks and force any recurrences (of the subtasks) to end.
The start and due dates of a subtask should be within those defined in the parent – subtasks could be (optionally) made to default to the start and due dates of the parent.
*I realize that a subtask can be detached from its parent and moved around. What I mean here is that as long as a parent-subtask relationship exists, the relative consistency between their attributes should be maintained.
I have been using the app for a Week now and also noticed this behavior. Are there any plans to fix this? I'm very sorry that I can't help with coding, it'll take some more years for me to be able to understand code well enough..
@akwala makes some good points, for now it would suffice to create subtasks with the same settings the parent task already has.
Subtasks currently do not inherit tags and this is a problem when filtering.
For example, I want to see all tasks with no tags but I see the subtasks too of tasks with tags.
@nicosmaris Try the following:
☰ > Add filter > No tags
Add criteria > Is subtask
Is subtask > Not > Ok
There is no "is subtask" criteria
Can you check your app version and make sure you're running at least v11.0
EDIT: and if you already are, you may need to scroll down after tapping 'Add criteria', 'Is subtask' is at the bottom
Indeed. It's the only app I had installed from fdroid and google play was not finding any update, thanks! On Jan 20, 2021, 18:19 +0200, Alex Baker notifications@github.com, wrote:

Would it be easier to link to the sub-task properties from the add task screen? So as you create the sub-task, you can easily set any properties.
When a task is given a date or hidden etc, the sub-tasks should get the same by default. Currently, if I hide a task, all the sub-tasks appear in the list of tasks
