I'm not sure what you mean by surface, I can't get the function to work (see previous thread) to learn by expermentation so... can you describe it?[addsig]

this is a piece of functionality that i am particularly proud of. i really need to get it documented, but here will do for the moment: in the task list, you are presented with both a checkbox and a button for each task. below the list are three buttons, two for delete and one for surface. Migrate: if I were to check two tasks and then click a the button of a third, the first two would be moved under the third, using it's task id as their new parent id. Surface: if I were, instead of clicking a third task's button (above), to click the surface button (at the bottom), then all of the checked tasks would take the current task's parent id as their parent id, in effect becoming siblings of the current task displayed. this is regardless of where the tasks are currently located in the hierarchy, so you can pull tasks from completely different locations by displayed multiple levels and either surfacing or migrating them. Delete (surface children): all subtasks migrate under the current task displayed Delete (delete children): kill the selected task(s) and all subtasks under it/them. HTH![addsig]

That is awsome. And I understand it now. So each of the tasks I put in could actually be projects, with thier children being major tasks in the project, with minor tasks of that major task as children? yes. I got that to work. Now we really need the breadcrumbs :wink: [addsig]

The breadcrumbs block isn't yet 100%, but the display of breadcrumbs in the task view should function ok, as follows: at root, no parents, so no breadcrumbs same with a root task, since it's parent is also zero. after that, display of the breadcrumb will be in the task details above the subtask list. I'll get this more clearly displayed shortly.[addsig]
