tagged subtasks don't show in tag list

Why don't tagged subtasks show in the list of items with that tag? I've made a subtask-smart-list so I can see them, but it would be much better if they showed under the tag. (The way both tasks and subtasks show under Today.)

Hi katelwilliams,
Tasks and subtasks will always show in every view, but in any view they'll be collected under a parent task if both show in the same view. In your example, if you tag a task and its subtask with the same tag, the subtask will show inside the task.
Hope this helps, but let us know if you're seeing anything else!

Well, if it only shows when you click on the parent task it isn't really showing in any view. I'm currently looking for a new task management system, so I'm trying out RTM. I like a lot of what I see, but the subtasks seem very awkward.
BUT - I see that you can drag a subtask into the main list pretty easily -- would the subtask keep the same tags and other attributes as its ex-parent task? That could be a decent work around. Most parent tasks are actually projects, so if you use a tag for the project name, the subtasks could be manually moved (in bulk, hopefully?) to the main view in a weekly review -- that might be adequate for some users.
I will also note that it's a bit frustrating not to have access to a trial version of Pro. I'm willing to pay for it if it works for me, difficult to determine this from reading comments/forum etc. Thanks

Hi welred,
Dragging a subtask to the main list separates it from its parent task; it’s now its own task without the connection to the other task.

Hello Andrewski:
Subtask implementations in RMilk are terrible. I just posted to ask for the ability to see subtasks under main tasks. The other way to do it would be to allow queried subtasks to be viewed in the same window as their main task.
For instance, I have several projects. Each of these projects have subtasks. I'd like to have a view that shows everything tagged 'project' as well as any subtasks that are due today. According to the above - that cannot be done. This makes RMilk extremely hard to work with when it comes to anything but straight lists.
My opinion on sub-tasks is this is a hack in order to retrofit the old list structure. It just doesn't seem well thought out at all.
