Ilija Studen:
* Task - small task that represent steps in execution of a bigger task


This is what I need, and what I currently use the most in 0.7.1, but in the 1.0 line it is too many time-consuming steps. And I regularly move a task from one list to another which I haven't found a way to do at all in 1.0.

I thought I had posted a question about this before, but now I can't find it.
In 0.7.1 I can add up to 7 tasks when I create a list.
In 1.0.x I have to create a list before I can add any tasks, which I have to add one at a time. Except if I use Quick add which lets me enter up to 3 tasks at a time but I have to create a new list, can't add to an existing one, and I can't assign tasks to people.

I am generally pleased with other modules in the new version, but with the loss of functionality (moving task to another list) and workflow with tasks, I may not be able to upgrade - this is the only thing holding me back now that the importer is available, but it's a show-stopper. Am I missing something, some way to use tasks more efficiently?

I also miss being able to see what the other lists are in a sidebar while viewing a particular list, but I think/hope I can address that with a custom theme.

Hi mik,

Your suggested changes in the way tasks and checklists are handled in this post. We'll see how we can improve the system in the future, but things have changed a bit. Tasks can be attached to more objects and they are more powerful now. This gives you more firepower, but increases complexity of everything we want to build.

Thank you for suggestions, we'll work on improvements in the upcoming releases.
