Deleting a Task with Subtasks

When a task with subtasks is deleted and:

  • the subtask is tagged in an additional task, or in a Folder or Project, then the subtask continues to live in the additional Tasks, Folders, and Projects which it is tagged in.*
  • the subtask is included in only that task (the parent task), then the subtask is deleted when the parent task is deleted.

*Please note, in this case the subtask will not include any information indicating that its parent task (or one of its parent tasks) was deleted.
