I find it helps if I can block out certain portions of my calendar to complete
certain sub-tasks. In other words, I like to look at my agenda for the day and
know that I should complete, say, sub-task A between 10-12.
I have tried the following:
** TODO Main Task [0/2]
DEADLINE: <2008-06-17 Tue>
- [ ] Sub-task A SCHEDULED: <2008-06-16 Mon 08:00-10:00>
- [ ] Sub-task B SCHEDULED: <2008-06-17 Tue 10:00-12:00>
The result is close to the desired behavior, but the agenda view displays the
title for the MAIN task:
Monday 16 June 2008
todo: 8:00-10:00 Scheduled: TODO Main Task [0/2]
Tuesday 17 June 2008
todo: 10:00-12:00 Scheduled: TODO Main Task [0/2]
I would prefer to see the title of the specific SUB-TASK in the agenda view.
Like so:
Monday 16 June 2008
todo: 8:00-10:00 Scheduled: TODO Sub-task A [0/2]
Tuesday 17 June 2008
todo: 10:00-12:00 Scheduled: TODO Sub-task B [0/2]
Is there a way to achieve this?
thanks.

Try making Sub-tasks A and B TODO items. Doesn't that do more or less
what you want? (It won't show the sub-tasks as [0/2], but then that
wouldn't be accurate---neither sub-task has 2 components.)
Best,

oh, that sounds promising -- if you mean "create the sub-tasks as sub-TODO
items." (i do want the sub-tasks grouped as sub-tasks under the tasks).
if this is what you mean, how to accomplish this? my attempts to create TODO
items as sub-tasks under an existing task result in things like: changing state
of main task to "done", etc.

that's ok. i am actually not too concerned about whether the solution provides
an indicator of number/percentage of sub-tasks completed.
thanks.

Hi,
*Any* headline can become a TODO. Just put the point somewhere in the
headline (actually, anywhere from the headline up to the next
headline) and invoke C-c C-t.
What are you doing such that you end up ``changing state of main task''?
Best,
Brian vdB

my bad. i believe i was having problems because i still had some remnants of the
sub-task markup in the task. thus, attempts to transform sub-tasks into separate
TODO items were simply updating the state of the main TODO (task).
it all seems to be working now -- and it does give me the agenda view that i
wanted. thanks for the tip!
