I admit I loved RTM, but I'm one of those people who did not stick around to post about it in the fourums at All. If RTM did implement subtasks I would have no other reason to look at other web apps that attemp to help me get things done but always fail miserably in the end.
To me the answer is simple add basic sub task ability that is automatically turned off for users, put out a bloog post about it and see how many people truly appreciate it. I belive the response will be positive by many and help start a more serious diolog about how to implement subtasks into RTM without disrupting it's zen like interface we have all come to love.
Also, RTM should ask people who sign up for RTM if they would be willing to fill out a simple little survey describing why they haven't returned back to RTM if there account has fallen into some what of an inactive status after say 6 weeks. This would help RTM developers be more aware of the opinions and ideas they currently are not recieving from those people who stick around.
If you like my idea of creating basic subtask option that starts in the off position add a plus one. And If a lack of sub tasks is keeping you from upgrading to a pro account list that as well- iknow it kept me from upgrading in the past

RTM is by far the best task utility I've found for my needs, but subtasks would help immensely!

says:I moved to another task app because rtm has no subtask feature. For pure gtd only one form of tagging is not sufficient.

I'm looking into Google tasks because of the sub task feature.

says:I just recently upgraded our support and bug tracking software, FogBugz to version 7. It now includes "sub tasks", after much resistance from the developers on the community's continued persistence.
SUB TASKS / SUB CASES are is now the BEST PART of the FogBugz software. I now use FogBugz more often, because it is easier and more natural to do so with sub tasks.
I have been a RTM PRO user for 3-4 years now, and I really feel that Sub Tasks are truly THE "Missing Feature"... I know about lists, tags, custom searches, etc...
BOTTOM LINE:
The fact that the SUB TASK feature is missing in RTM keeps me looking elsewhere.

says:I agree. I like to keep my tasks quite general for speed and transparency, but certain tasks would benefit from being able to have sub-tasks. I don't like entering sub-tasks as main tasks as it's hard to see what main task they belong to

I want them too, really bad.
Google tasks is pretty bad compared to this, please don't make me use them. In fact I so disliked their implementation that I searched and found this. But I really miss sub tasks and may not be able to last without them.
Percent complete would be nice too.

I would also like to add my request for this feature. I am afraid that I can't start using RTM for more than rudimentary lists until a sub-tasks feature is implemented. Until then I will stay with Google Notebook (which also has Drag & Drop functionality!) .

Please add subtasks for your next release.
I have been using RTM for more than a week now. It has been quite useful for me. The more i use it, the more i feel the need for breaking my tasks into sub tasks.

I agree. I'm using another web app to organize my more complicated projects. One self help book suggested breaking down big tasks into small easy-to-complete tasks as a way to avoid procrastination but I need subtasks to do that. :(
Posted at 9:47am on September 11, 2009
says:+1. I agree that sub-tasks are the one missing feature that I'm constantly feeling the need for - by all means make them optional but please add them to make RTM perfect! This alone feature would definitely justify upgrading to a Pro account.
Posted at 2:15pm on September 23, 2009
+1 I agree - I can't use RTM or recommend it because subtasks are so essential.
Posted at 4:50pm on September 28, 2009
+1 -- I would go pro for subtasks.
Posted at 8:03pm on September 28, 2009
says:+1 for this. Sub-tasks is vital. Google tasks has it and if they improve the rest of their system then I will need to think seriously about moving accross
Posted at 3:12pm on October 12, 2009
says:+1 for sub tasks know it kept me away for a long time and still makes me use other systems at times
Posted at 8:56am on October 30, 2009
+1 I'm pretty happy I'm not the only one missing this feature, so maybe we'll get it rather sooner than later
