Consolidate subtasks and goal tasks

2 votes

Hello,

Amplenote added goal tasks feature, which is awesome. It is very similar to sub-tasks though, that's why I'd suggest some improvements in UX:
- sub-tasks should automatically link a goal task of it's parent task
- parent task should not get this new "goal task" badge for its subtasks, except if user adds it manually.
- tasks should be connected by default with its subtasks.

Those are meant to streamline UX. RIght now I was not sure how goal tasks relate to subtasks, IMHO they share a lot in common. Less confusion for users, more powerful link between tasks for future analysis.

Included image is a state of current subtasks and goal tasks. As you can see, sub-tasks are not goal tasks by default and adding !goal means that parent task gets badge, which is not necessary.

While it's a rather simple UI change for users, it will make both features more powerful and easier to reason about as they already share common theme of task dependency)
