But I do not have any idea of how we may present the agenda view. Maybe it should be better do display the path to a TODO item, since parent item may be not TODO items by themselves, like this: * Garden ** TODO Cut the flowers * Home ** TODO Cut the flowers should be presented somehow like in the refile view, as: TODO Garden / Cut the flowers TODO Home / Cut the flowers instead of the unclear: TODO Cut the flowers TODO Cut the flowers Actually, I wonder how people deals with this kind of tasks. Are you relying on tags ? For example with :garden: and :home: in my previous example ? Personally, I am used to recall the main heading at the beginning of the children, but only when the TODO item heading is really not clear enough by itself, since it is a quite heavy solution. > Just an incentive to tell you I'd also would love that feature. Same :) Best, Olivier
