Description ieure 2002-11-18 16:45:21 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.0.4)
Installed from:    Debian stable Packages
OS:          Linux

It would be very nice if sub-todos could inherit the categories selected for their parent on creation.

It would be even nicer if all sub-todos always had at least the same categories as their parents. For example, if I create a 'Foo Project' To-do, and categorize it as  "Business, Client Projects," then create a sub-todo 'Implement bar widget,' the sub-todo should have "Business, Client Projects" as it's categories. If I then add another categorization, "Features," to the sub, and remove "Business" from the parent, the sub should have "Client Projects, Features" as it's categories.

IOW, every sub-todo always has it's parent's categories, but can be further categorized if desired.

I second that, furthermore, due date/time, attendees & access should also be inherited (if only for a starting point, it'd be very helpful

CVS commit by bram: 

Newly created subtodos will inherit properties like category and
date from it's parent. (wish #50911).
