Viewing all tasks for parent project and sub projects

Currently i can only view tasks for sub projects by clicking on each one, is there a way to show all tasks from sub projects just by clicking on the parent project?

Create project “test parent project”
Create task “test parent project task”
Create new project “test parent project sub project” with parent of “test parent project”
Create task “test parent project sub project task”
View kanban of “test parent project”

In backlog i only see “test parent project task” and not the task of the sub project.

+1 to this! It would be nice to see the Gantt for the complete project

+1 to this feature. I don’t see the utility of having subprojects when they are treated independently instead of part of the parent project.

Couldn’t agree more. I just subscribed to the forum to bring my vote to this feature !

Came here looking for this as well, given my thumbs up. Is there a way of doing the same using saved filters?

Only if you create a saved filter and add all sub projects manually as a filter condition.

+1 for this feature request.

That could be a temporary solution - but how would the filter look?
I created projects “parent”, “parent_sub1”, parent_sub2" and tried “project like parent%” in the filter, but “project” appears to translate to the project_id, not to the title.
And I have not found a way to retrieve project_id of a project other than to check in the database itself.

100% agree this would be very useful!

this would be so awesome!

I started using Vikunja a few days ago and I find it amazing!

This feature is probably the one I miss the most.

I work as a team leader in a small team of just 2–3 developers. Each project is divided into one or more sub-projects (e.g. a CRM composed of Features, Tickets, Bugs, etc.).

I would really appreciate a global view starting from the main project, as it would help allocate resources more effectively.

That’s a great idea, and I want one. That would really help me out.

Throwing my vote in for this one as well - I realise it’s quite old, but it would be great to be able to see a gannt chart of all sub projects.

Am aware I can use saved filter and individually list project names, but would be better if I could either just click the top project or create a dynamic filter “child of project xyz” etc.

In an ideal world, the gannt chart would show me 2 views (selectable) - Details for all tasks in all child projects or just the high level earliest date <> latest date for all tasks of a child project.

Ok - I decided to have a crack at creating this myself, seeing as it’s open source. First time i’ve contributed to app like this, so please be kind :smiley:

feat: add child project tasks view :robot::robot::robot: by lindonm · Pull Request #2801 · go-vikunja/vikunja

Screenshots show my dev environment, solves the child/parent project things for me and working great.

Thanks @lindonm ! I think there now actually seem to be three different pull requests adding this feature - here are the other two:

feat: show sub-project tasks in parent project views :robot::robot::robot: by mokshasoft · Pull Request #2592 · go-vikunja/vikunja

feat: add include subprojects task view support by JamesBatten · Pull Request #2272 · go-vikunja/vikunja

Request #2272 seems to have been the most active and to be the closest to being merged, but activity on it seems to have stalled a couple of months ago, sadly. I don’t think there’s anything I can do myself to help one of these get over the line, as I have no development experience.

lol I had no idea others were also working on it. I wonder how different their ideas are :slight_smile:

I have very little experience myself, just letting the AI help me muddle through it :wink:
