Reminders Subtasks Not Showing in Today View
I love the Reminders app and I use it for all my task tracking etc. I especially use the ‘Today’ view of the widget on my ‘desktop’ for easy access to, you guessed it, my tasks for the day 😬. What I can’t figure out is why subtasks I create for my complex tasks do not appear by default when I open a specific task via the widget (if fact they don’t appear at all!) in the Today view. This is true for all devices I work on ie. iPhone, iPad and Mac.
Each time I want to check off a subtask, I have to dig into the specific task ie edit it, then tick off that all-important check box for a completed task. What’s even more surprising is that if I go to the reminder list in which that specific reminder is located for eg. Personal, the subtasks ALWAYS show by default, ready to tick off! If I was managing just one reminder list, I could probably ignore this shortfall in the Today view; however I have 5 massive reminder lists, each with multiple tasks, all alphabetically arranged by title (which I have to do if I want my subtasks to remain ordered by number, and not shuffled into a confusing mess.. 🤦🏾♂️). I don’t want to spend precious time searching for a specific task when it seems intuitive to me where my task for the day should be…
My question: is there a way to have subtasks auto-revealed in the Today view for each task, and if so, how? If this is not possible (and why isn’t it - it would be a boss-level feature!), is this something I could make a possible feature request?
Thanks!
