Subtasks

[Niroa95]

First of all I want to say that this emacs plugin is amazing. It's very well done and useful!

Now, with the new version of Todoist, now you can have sub-tasks inside of any task. I think it would be useful if sub-tasks showed as a level under tasks, which it doesn't currently happen.

Thank you! Very much appreciated. I'm glad this is useful.

I will look into this. To my knowledge subtasks are not yet available in the Todoist API, making it impossible to pull from the extension. I will keep this issue for now, to check periodically if the API changes.

It seems parent is now supported when creating a new task, but I agree that this is blocked until Doist provides API support for parent when getting or updating a task. @abrochard, have you contacted Doist yet, requesting this support? They don't provide a Linux Desktop application (notwithstanding that it's possible to wrap one in Electron), but even if they did, I would hope that they'd support this--from their perspective--alternative interface to their product :-)

[abrochard]

Hmm if they added a parent field it might be possible to work something out. I will try to take a look when I get to it.
I have not contacted them, pretty sure I'm too small fry...

Any update on this?

[abrochard]

I'm not actively working on this issue. I might one day if my interest/schedule allows it. I do not know if anyone else is actively looking at it.

FYI: it appears the get active tasks API now supports a parent_id field which can be used to infer parent-child relationships. (V1 API also supports parent_id)

@Niroa95 @sten0 @jsilve24 @holocronweaver if you are open to another extension, org-todoist supports arbitrarily nested subtasks & bidirectional sync of org <--> Todoist.
