Mark sub-tasks as done when a parent task is marked done

[wenlzhang]

In the latest version, children tasks are shown as undone if they are not checked, although the corresponding parent task is marked as done. This is a little different from ordinary Obsidian tasks in Preview mode. Is it possible to make it more consistent with ordinary obsidian tasks?

Can you please double-check without a theme installed? And compare again obsidian checklists with task lists? I am not changing the appearance and it should be identical with or without this plugin.

Sorry that I did not describe it clearly. What I meant is shown in the following figure:

As can be seen, the parent task has been marked as completed. In this case, when querying tasks, the two sub-tasks would be shown as undone.

Ah, yes. Well, they are undone from the plugin’s perspective. I guess a new optional feature could automatically mark all children of a task as done when the parent is done 🤔

True 😀

Yes, this would do the work.
