Re: [Tsheetx-developers] Hierarchical task lists

[David T. <tom...@us...>]

This is on the wishlist (see http://bugs.timesheetng.org), I entered it myself.
 
I am not sure that it is so strightforward, but you are right it needs a kind of parent field to support it. You would need to take care that entries are not made against non-terminal (i.e. composite) tasks. In classic Gantt sense their times are the rolled up values of the sub-tasks.
 
I don't see any disadvantages of hierarchical tasks, since we have a hierarchy already - flat ;-).
