#1990 Feature Request: Hide or collapse subtask boards on home/all boards view

Issue

All subtasks show up on main page.

Server Setup Information:

• Wekan version: 1.69 (snap install)

Problem description:
It would be great to have the option to collapse subtask boards. I am member of a board I was invited to, and the user made heavy use of subtasks to the point where it takes up a considerable portion of the main page. It would be great to have a way to either collapse or hide these.

I don't think subtask boards should even be displayed on the boards page. There should be a new point "subtasks" (such as templates), and then the subtask boards should also be properly named and not all just called ^originalboardname^.

This looked so terribly wrong that I thought it was a database corruption and thereby I just deleted all subtasks of the user by getting rid of these boards.

It is great that this has been solved! I am not sure how does it work, should I turn off some setting so that the subtasks dissapear? I still see the boards such as: ^To-dos^

I am using v4.54.

Hmm, I think this is not fixed it. I'm thinking of redoing subtasks feature like mentioned here https://github.com/wekan/wekan/issues/3328#issuecomment-721194938 .

An easy option to hide at least subboards at all, only from the main boards page would be great.

But as you say...in your referenced comment above, th subtasks feature doesnt seem to be well testet at all. Also this feature here, like trello has it, would be very useful .... https://github.com/wekan/wekan/issues/2565

Any plans on this?

All Boards page will sometime get some way to organize.

A couple days ago while I'm currently working on Shared Templates https://github.com/wekan/wekan/issues/3313#issuecomment-861346852 I tried to add tabs to All Boards page, I did not get it working yet, so I just made Template Containers (boards that contain card/list/board templates) visible at All Boards page. I try to get Shared Templates working in some simplest possible way first.

There are already some tabs at Sidebar => Board Settings => Archive where is tabs for Cards/Lists/Swimlanes. Those tabs were not originally added by me, so I did not yet figure out how to get them to show content at each tab correctly.

For organizing, alternatives are:

• Tabs
• Tree hierarchy
• Collapsible Swimlanes and fixes to Subtasks, they are funded already. Collapsible Swimlanes are first for boards, but maybe could be added to All Boards too.

About that [#2565] Create new card from checklist item: related cards and checklists code is at https://github.com/wekan/wekan/tree/master/client/components/cards . Anyone that has done any programming in any programming language, and dares to read that code, can figure it out and send pull request to implement it.

Thanks for your quick answer!

I personally think, for the "all boards" page, a simple settings-dialogue wold be great. Here such options like "hide/show" boards (per checkbox) would be nice. Or at least, in the general settings, we could add custom css or something like that and just set the subtask-boards to "display: none;". But for that, these subtasb boards need to have a selector that could be used to distinguish them from "normal" boards first ...

Do you mean similar to filter cards?
