Dear wassim,

We have helped add a project named "test" in your Doit. It was completed with 8 subtasks (1, 2, 3.......8) firstly and two new tasks (9 and 10) were added by our background program then. In the Doit system, the project completed will not appear again by itself even when you add new subtasks to it for the need of most users. But the subtasks will appear in the "Next" box. You can check if the two new tasks we added are in the "next" box. And surely you can see the project name. Therefore, I think you don't need to reactivate the project if the subtasks are not too many.

As for your advice that there should be a reminder of reactivating or not when you add a new subtask, we will take into consideration and make some progress according to the need of most users.

Best regards.

Hi Linjiani,

Thanks for your help on this. I thought there was an error with my Doit before reading your reply, so I went almost crazy and delete that folder before even reading your reply. Unfortunately I couldn't follow what you said because I didn't have any "test" project since I deleted it by the time I saw your reply. Kindly accept my apology.

I don't know if I understood what you said 100%. However, when I mark a project as complete, if in the future I need to add a task to it, I won't be able to see it from the list of projects (active or inactive). I can see the same behavior on Windows and Android. Does this make sense?

So here's my problem again:
1) I have an active project I'm currently working on.
2) I added tasks to it.
3) The project task list has been completed and I delivered work to my client.
4) I deactivated the project because I don't wanna see it in my list of active projects anymore.
5) A month later the same client comes back and request something to be fixed on our old project.
6) I add the task to that project, but then I can't see the task anywhere because the project is inactive. In order to view the task I'll need to go to the project and reactivate it, but I'll probably have forgotten about the task itself because I have many To Dos.

I hope my request is more clear this time.

Best regards,
Wassim

Dear Wassim,

I understand your confusion and have added a new project named "test 2" in your account. I repeated what I said in my last reply. Therefore, surely you could see the added task "9 and 10" which are added when the whole project is completed in the "next" box on the left.

I mean the project that has been marked complete before will not appear again even if you add new subtasks later. But you can see the newly-added subtasks in the "next" box with the project name. Therefore, it's easier for you to deal with the new subtasks. But if the newly-subtasks are too many, I would suggest that you reactivate the project.

Hope I understand what you mean and you are pleased with my answer.

Best regards.

Thanks a lot my friend. This works great except for one problem: When I add a new task I can't see "test 2" from the list of projects. Is this a bug on my phone or there's something I'm missing? How did you add tasks "9" and "10"? Tell me you didn't go to the completed project from the "Completed" tab and clicked on it and added the tasks from there, because this is very inconvenient. I need a way to add a new task directly from "Today" or "Next" and select the project "test 2" from the list of projects. Is that possible?

Oh and one more thing, on Android I can see tasks "9" and "10"... But on Windows I cannot see those tasks unless I go to the project itself to view all its tasks. So yes on Android I can see those tasks in "Next" but not in "Windows". Is this a bug on Windows? Or is it a Sync problem? I don't know.

Best regards,
Wassim

Dear Wassim, it's not a bug that you can not see "test 2" from the list of the projects when you add new subtasks. Our system thinks that you have completed the whole project when you mark it completed. Therefore, it will not appear again in the list of projects anywhere.

Yes, I added task 9 and 10 in the completed task "test 2" as the completed "test 2" disappeared in the list of projects and I could not select the type of project. I understand your need of a more convenient way to add the new tasks to a project that has been completed. Unfortunately, our current system does not support this function. In the updated version later, we will see if it is necessary to add this feature in line with the need of most users.

Windows version syncs automatically every 3 minutes now and you can manually sync anytime by the shortcut “Ctrl + R”. So if you can't see the tasks on Windows, it's the sync problem.

Best regards.
