How to add a toolbar button to add subtasks in Inbox in list view? Topic is solved

[raym]

I am trying to add a new toolbar button "New task at bottom of a specific folder" in my case "New task at bottom of Inbox Folder".

There is a menu item "New task at bottom of selected task's parent’ but I don't see the task parent in Listview.

Would it be possible to add a new toolbar button "New task at bottom/top of Inbox (or a specific folder)"?

but I don't see the task parent in Listview.

That must be because you have an active filter or you have chosen to hide parent tasks, either in 'List View > Options' or

Code: Select all

Tools > Preferences > User Interface > Tasklist Attributes > Always hide parent tasks in List View

.

Would it be possible to add a new toolbar button

I think a better solution would be for you to create a user-defined-tool (UDT) for this purpose.

Follow these basic steps, but type the following into the 'Arguments' field:

Code: Select all

"$(pathname)" -nt -pid <parent task ID>

Thank you. It works very well.

Two small questions left:
- Is there any way to move this toolbar icon to the custom toolbar?
- If I add a task using this new icon (without writing anything), push the ESC button on my keyboard then the task does not disappear like all other tasks.
Would it be possible to make this happen?

Yes:

1. Untick the 'Tools > Preferences > User Defined Tools > Display in toolbar' checkbox
2. Add the appropriate 'Tools > User Defined Tool <x>' button to the 'Custom Toolbar' button list

Would it be possible to make this happen?

You'll need to repost that as a separate bug report, together with the relevant information.
