it would be nice to be able to close a task while leaving some children (which are actually notes) open. So that the notes remain readable, without greyout and strikeout.
There is a preference in the Settings to keep the parent task open when the last child is closed, but the other way it’s mandatory - closing the parent closes all the children.
If anyone is thinking invalidating is a workaround, it’s not a very good one - the note still changes appearance (greyed out and italic), and it stays invalidated only until the parent task is reopened.
I consider it unlikely that I’ll have so many sub-tasks under a task that I wouldn’t want to review each one individually to make sure it is either completed or is not meant to be completed.
Checkboxes are just a decoration, I am not using them at all. I like my custom look better, and right now I have to resort to a special tag on each note to achieve it：
For now, both “open task” and “note” have a bullet marker. Green checkmark means “closed task”. If there is functionality in the future to distinguish open tasks from notes, I’ll think of another marker to visualize that.
UPDATE: Reading the latest announcement post, I see the distinction is already there, and I need to use .boxesList class for tasks. Thank you.
UPDATE 2: Never mind, for as long as parent closing triggers closing of every child, I’ll have to keep styling notes with a special tag.
