Is this a feature for the backend or frontend?

Frontend

What would you like?

Right now, you can have only a "flat" list of items in the checklist, but it would be nice to have sub items as well.
Yes, with v2 you added a possibility to add more than one checklist, but I'm asking about different thing :)

Greate update, btw, thank you for your effort!

For example, i mean

  • Notify all banks about address change
    • bank 1
    • bank 2
  • Notify medical insurance about address change
  • Change delivery address in online shops
    • Amazon
    • eBay

Why is this needed?

To allow structuring checklist.

There's a hacky way on how to do it now, but it looks a bit ugly:

  • Notify all banks about address change
  • . bank 1
  • . bank 2
  • Notify medical insurance about address change
  • Change delivery address in online shops
  • . Amazon
  • . eBay

Hi Modest,
in my opinion having a sub todo list is the wrong approach when you have a kanban board at your hands. It would be much better to simply split your card into several cards. The old "divide et impera" is one of the most import concepts when you want to master task lists.

That would be too much for such simple tasks. I would rather not overload the board with a lot of small tasks, since I use it mostly as an overview :)
