Yes. Subtasks under main tasks. I wish this feature could be coming soon with Actions update!
Completely Agree
Subtasks/ checklists option needed
Checklist type subtadks would be an amazingly useful option and eould have me deleting Things from my device.
What about generating a checklisttool in „actions“ ?
This will prevent from being able to sync up with iOS Reminders. Use Lists and create tasks in lists. This is compatible with Reminders App.
Do not implement any functions which would make a two-way sync with iOS reminders.
Only build around it.
There are TONED of complex task/project management apps for any taste, such as Wunderlist, Todoist, and literally hundreds more, for any taste.
But they lock you in, and that is a HUGE con for using them.
If you were to implement tasks inside the task inside the lists, do it in a very easy text format so that sees subtasks could be exported to Reminders into the “Notes” field of the reminder,
For example:
REMINDER: “Birthday Party”
+make venue reservation
+pick the menu
+send invitations
-confirm attendance & dietary resttictions
-customize and update the menu
-update menu with the venue
-order minivans to take people home
-pick/shop for outfit
-get a haircut
=birthday party [the main event corresponding to the reminder in the notes of which these sub-tasks are stored. -/+ indicate unfinished and finished subtasks.
If you want to do scheduling and alerts in Actions App fro these tasks, store that info in square brackets after each task, or as a redundant recoverable code at the end of the note, if you don’t want anybody to edit it and corrupt the proper format, e.g.,
-call mom to invite personally [2018-02-28_19:30(or 11:30PM){depending on the settings in iOS}]
Or, at the end of the note,
<do not edit>
HHSUEJDJEIDUDDBXBZXBXJSKDUXHHDDBFHHRKDBFJRDNDBNDNDNDNDJDNDNDJDNOHSUEHDBDHDJDHRJEKKDMCJGO
<end of Base64 code>
(...or along these lines...)
@Serge Davidov: I like your idea of using lists as the way to groups actions. I am doing that now.
A nested checklist would be an amazing add to the app. eg. “groceries” with a list that could be checked off
Checklist generation in Action Cards/ Notes. Ability to check off individual items in lists.
Heck yeah !! And make them collaborative please 🙏
great idea, we have plans of implementing sub-tasks which will allow for this. I'll merge this into that feature request so that your votes get counted there.
Adding an actual checklist will be great.
go shopping At ...
- item 1
- item 2
- item 3
So on...
Better if they’d be able to get checked off.
Similar to Remember the Milk
Yes, very important. Absolutely necessary!
Agreed !
A habit tracker is also on my wishlist! For repeated task and reminders like take vitamins, water plants, drink water. Each habit will summarize monthly in a overview :)
I agree with Amanda & Serge! I love using Wunderlist but fell in love with Timepage and discovered Actions... would be so great if both apps become one amazing app instead of jumping from one app to the other
I was going to ask for this to. It is essential for a to do list and for me to move from Things.
@Amanda Threlfall : agreed!
