Kanban Board Subtask in Overview

[hereticlegion]

Hello there!

I stumbled upon Leantime today and took a look around in search of a management tool that fits my needs. So far i see a lot of nice features that i'd like to explore further. There is one key feature that i'm missing so far and that is the possibility to see Subtasks in the Kanban Board View.

Professionally, i live in the Microsoft Cosmos (sigh), aka Azure Devops in this context. And for all you can critic MS for, their Kanban Board has that one feature that I, as a dopamine-lacking, easily overwhelmed ADHD person, am heavy relying on and can't seem to find in any other alternative product. That is the feature to expand the task to show and close/re-open the sub-tasks:

Example:

I feel your current board is either able to do this, and i simply cant seem to find how to change the settings to do so, or not, but the feature is almost there.

Right now, clicking the "2" just opens the Task, just like clicking the title would. What i'd like to see is, a "0/2" (depending on how many attached tasks are done), that expands the task, listing the subs with a checkbox, to mark them as done or undone and the title of the subtask linking to the subtask itself when clicked. This way, i can easily get my dopamine hit when crossing of items from my list while being able to remain in the overview and not get distracted by submenus etc.

I hope i was able to get my point across and that it resonates with the team. Would love to see it.

best regards

Simon

Thanks, this is something we have been thinking and talking about as well.
Just to confirm: You would prefer the subtasks to just appear underneath/inside the parent rather than individual cards (which is what they are today).

Thanks for the Quick reply, that great to hear.

To be honest, i haven't thought about that yet.
If i understand you correctly, that you only talk about the board view, i'd agree, they should only appear underneath/inside the parent.

When clicked, the item should open the same view as the do now, with the same functionality (otherwuse It would be a downgrade) . Its only the board view, that should change in my humble opinion :)
