Redmine

What is benefit compared to Redmine sub issues?

I think that is the way, that is more easy, and it's possible to check, quickly, which sub tasks are completed

The syntax can be applied anywhere wiki format is used instead of just for keeping track of tasks. One example is to keep a list of non-task requirements for each version (eg. all code has been reviewed, changelog is up-to-date, etc) in a wiki and check them off as they are validated.

AFAIK, GitHub does not have diff of description, but Redmine has.
"diff" "diff" "diff" ... in issue note is very annonying.

Why not use issue with tracker (for example: "house keeping" / "misc jobs").

I think the task-list can be used like steps to follow into a small issue
I think that sub tasks should be used when i have a big issue

very related to #20691

I also think that would be nice to have (especially if we managed to make these boxes clickable without having to hit 'edit'). For the meantime, you might want to check out the checklists plugin .

Currently we track our issues in GitLab but we want to switch to Redmine.

Our company consists of both technical and business people and the business people get used to Markdown task list ([] and [X]) - it WAY simpler and quicker to use than when creating subissues.

IMHO the world is moving towards Markdown (with GitHub flavor), so should Redmine.

Just my two cents (describing what we, the users, need)...

For some very small tasks that are delegated and that you only have to verify, it would be very useful to have checklists and not subtasks. I prefer read the checklist at the issue description and not to have to use a plugin for it.

Maybe we can use the vimoutliner syntax [ ] and [X]

Thanks !

This is a great feature that is even more relevant today IMHO. Is there a chance it would be included id the roadmap?
