Display tasks with parent hierarchy

[vincent-herlemont]

I am currently using the Obsidian Tasks plugin to manage and group my tasks. I would like to request a feature that displays tasks along with their parent hierarchy. For example, if I have the following structure:

- Part 1
   - Part 1.1
     - [ ] Task A
   - Part 1.2
     - [ ] Task B

I would like it to be displayed as:

Part 1 > Part 1.1 > Task A
Part 1 > Part 1.2 > Task B

• Is there is a way to do this currently ?
• If not this feature would greatly enhance task management by providing better context and organization.

Hi, this is a commonly asked question, taking up user time to ask, and maintainer time to answer, and I would like to try and improve efficiency for everyone.

Could you please let me know which parts of the documentation you searched before asking, so that I can see if I can improve the discoverability of the information?

Many thanks.

@claremacrae Sorry for the question. I searched in this documentation for keywords and those that were close to this idea display parent tasks.

[claremacrae]

Which keywords did you search for?

[claremacrae]

Did you do them one at a time, or all 3 words as one search string?

[vincent-herlemont]

I tried several combinations, but I don't remember exactly which ones.

By the way, the keyword I should have searched for is "sub-task" In my opinion, you should include "parent task" or "child tasks" in the similar words so that they can be found easily.

Thank you for the replies...
