I've seem this in the forums, but the big thread has been closed due to lack of responses. I want to start this again, maybe if enough people cast their vote the awesome people developing RTM will consider it.
I need nested lists because I simply have a LOT of sublists in my organization. Here's an example: I am promoting multiple blogs, and am writing many e-books, tied to different blogs. My big project would be "BLOG A". A subproject that is "E-book" would be needed, because that is still HUGE. I could group these with tags, but if I also have an E-book for blog B that will get confusing.
Yes, you can use smart search and smart lists to get around this, I just feel it would be much easier. You could also have the option to turn this on and off, to declutter the interface.
If turned on, when you click on a list, it will show its sublists in blue for example in a row underneath the main lists. Other main lists can be hidden while this is happening.
If you turn off sublists and you have sublists, either all the tasks could fall under the main list, or sub lists could be brought to the front and shown as main lists.
I am using RTM because it is simply the best, but I have been experimenting with others because of the lack of this feature (so far no app came even close)
Cheers to you guys, thanks for listening

I absolutely agree that this feature is required.

I am new here and have searched and see that this has been requested numerous times, but I too need to add my support to this idea.
I have "tasks" and I have "projects". I would really like to be able to list my tasks for each project in a nested list.
I know it has been suggested that I could use "lists" for the projects, but with the organizational system that I use, it just doesn't work out quite right.

Absolutely a must have.

says:You can grab a url for a smart list by going to the atom feed and changing the word 'atom' to 'home' in the url, but being able to automate this would be helpful.

says:I also think this is a great idea. Essentially I have projects within projects, so I need lists within lists.

Agreed. Perfect candidate for a Pro feature.

Vote for this!!

gotta say, much needed. I'm moving to MindMeister until RTM has sublists.

says:Well, considering the number of people requesting sublists, I'm surprised that most haven't realized that Firefox+GreaseMonkey already makes this possible.
My present tag cloud at work, where I have hidden the private tags:
The three projects at the bottom (p01, p02 and p03) all have sublists, works well.

When thinking smart(lists), sublists make a lot of sense
I've always thought how cool it would be to have dropdowns, but then these dropdowns could be lists themselves (the parent lists) and everyone would be pleased :)
For the simpler cases, rajjan, our pumped up tag cloud does fine, but when you talk smartlists there's nowhere to run.
Bottom line is, sublists are already a reality for tags, lists and locations, but not for smartlists (unless you could stick a smartlist to your tagcloud). And smartlists bring the indecent possibilities.

says:I have a tag cloud like Rajjan, but I'm still getting it all pimped out. I also use RTM Enhanced to reformat RTM so it's easier to use, and I use another script to keep the task cloud in view at all times.
I do agree that sublists are a good idea. I'd have to say that drag-and-drop reordering and dependent tasks are more important to me, though.

I would love to have sub-lists. Yeah, it's possible to use all sorts of crazy tasks and smart lists to do this, but when it comes down to it, sub-lists would just be easier!
Would definitely make implementing GTD easier for me, since I'm using a list name as a project name. If there are sub-lists, I can then create sub-projects easily.

says:Another vote for this feature. I loved Todoist's nesting. I've tried multiple lists using RTM but I hate how rows of list tabs stack. If Im going to have tabs stack I'd rather have parent list tabs on top and sub list tabs on bottom.
One application of nested lists I like the most. A parent list of "Home" with nested lists for each room in the house ("Bedroom", "Living Room", etc.) and then tasks for each room within the room's list.

100% agree this is needed... if it wasn't for the increased google integration I'd stick with Todoist as I prefer the sub task design. If the integration increases I'm switching back. Keep the masses happy and sort this out.

I really need this feature. I think it is the base of the "next action" idea (of GTD)
Posted at 8:45am on August 25, 2008
+1 for the idea.
Posted at 3:50pm on August 26, 2008

As a consultant with mulitiple clients and often multiple projects for a single client I could definitely use this feature to keep the projects as sublists under a main client list - and if it was only available as a Pro feature I would upgrade.
Posted at 4:43pm on September 15, 2008
I agree with this being a need that should be implimented as a high priority.
