Hi guys,
Feng is a great product and I'm currently trying to use it according to the GTD methodology. Having the list of subtasks auto-expanded would be a _great_ time-saver and productivity booster and it would be great to have that feature in feng!
I've read the forum topics and I saw the same feature request 2-3 years ago. It is clear that it's not an easy fix, but please tell us when do you plan to fix this?
Let me explain why I need this:
While implementing the GTD workflow, I'm relying heavily on task lists. I use my calendar _only_ for time-critical tasks and all of the other "open loops" go in the task module with no due date.(that's why I tend to not use date-specific milestones for regular "do a.s.a.p" tasks)
I added several tags that define task status: !next, !waiting, !someday
I often have a task(project in terms of GTD) that requires multiple actions in order to be completed. If the project is big I would create a workspace for it, but if there are only 4-5 tasks to be grouped together there's no point in creating a separate workspace.
I'm using subtasks but having the lists of subtasks collapsed all the time is really making the whole task-management process hard and time-consuming.
Currently I'm trying to use some kind of a name convention so that I can group similar tasks together, but that's just a workaround and it is not very handy. Having the list of sub-tasks expanded all the time would be great!
So once again: Do you plan to implement that feature in the next releases(please be honest :D ). If not - would you suggest for me using the 'order by name' trick for now?
Best and keep up the good work!

Hi fengy,
if you want to modify the script by yourself, this might help:
ROOT\public\assets\javascript\og\tasks\drawing.js
function ogTasks.expandCollapseAllTasksGroup
cheers

Great
thank you!
I actually modified /public/assets/javascript/og/tasks/main.js
and set
this.isExpanded = true;
on line 63
that makes each task expanded by default
Best

das ist echt eine spitzen idee aber manche leute haben keine admin oder root rechte. wäre es nicht besser diese einstellung in die systemeinstellung zu integrieren?
