Subtasks are hidden when parent tasks are moved

Bug
1

Don’t want to be annoying, just hope this report is useful :slight_smile:

Tested in try.vikunja
Frontend Version: 0.22.0+32-5e991f3024
API Version: v0.22.0+10-27a5f6862b

How to reproduce:

  • Create two tasks: Task A and Task B
  • Make Task B subtask of Task A
  • Move Task A to different project

Expected behaviour:
Alternative A:

  • Task A is shown in new project
  • Task B is shown in new project as subtask

Alternative B:

  • Task A is shown in new project
  • Task B stays visible in initial project

What happens:

  • Task A is shown in new project
  • Task B is hidden
  • (can see Task B when viewing Task A’s details)

Looks like a bug - I’ll take a look.

Fixed in 664bf0a5f4 - please check with the next unstable build (also on try in ~30 min).

@kolaente I have couple of questions here. Need to understand how it should be functioning before fixing a related bug.

On try Task B is no longer displayed in initial project after Task A (parent) was moved to other project. That’s even though initial project is still assigned to Task B.

  1. Should Task B still be visible in inital project without parent?
  2. Should Task B still be visible in inital project under the parent?
  3. Shouldn’t Task B project automatically be changed to parent’s Task A new project IF all Task B’s parents are now of same project?

Yes.

I’d say no, but that’s debatable. What would you expect?

Definitely no, because that would defeat the feature of related tasks being in different projects.

I have made a bug report about this on GitHub: list and table views do not show (sub)tasks if the parent task is in anothe project · Issue #782 · go-vikunja/vikunja · GitHub

In the OP example, I believe the current behaviour is that in the first project Task B is hidden in list and table views but is still shown in the Kaban and Gantt views. And in the new project, where the parent is (Task A), Task B is shown in the table and list views (in the list view with an indication of the project name Task B is in) but not in the Kaban and Gantt views.

I believe this is the correct behaviour except that Task A (as parent) and Task B (as sub) should also be shown in the list view of the project Task B is in, but this time with an indication for Task A of its project name.
