#4803: Quire Feedback
Status: Completed

I inadvertently dragged a Task to another Task which turned it into a Subtask, and didn't realize it until the Due Dates did not match. I transferred the Subtask to another project which turned it back into a Task, and then I transferred that Task to the project it belonged to. Is there a better way to turn a Subtask into a Task?

Hi Alvin - There are several ways to turn a subtask to a task:

  1. Drag and drop to move the task.
  2. Press Alt + ← to un-indent the task.

I hope this helps.

  1. I tried the drag and drop method, and it didn't seem to work. I'll experiment later. BTW, I'm on Windows 7 using Firefox.
  2. Thanx for the key combination. Where could I have found that myself?

Thank you

Hi Alvin - In some grouped/sorted mode, we block users to change the task order, since it might mess up the original tree structure when not in grouped/sorted mode.

So in short, if you would like to change the order of the task when in grouped/sorted mode, you cannot do so, you would need to ungroup/unsort first.

Also, you can see the full list of keyboard shortcuts here in this guide: https://quire.io/guide/keyboard-cheatsheet/

I hope this helps.
