Hi Keturah Cummings ,

Among the suggestions from others, my top "wish list" for the steps in To Do would be;

DATES for steps
EXPANDED view
1. The ability to view the individual steps for each task when viewing an entire list of tasks
  1. Expand/collapse step view?

Perhaps it is already there, but I have not found it.

Thanks, Dean

I would like to view the steps of my task in such a view...

I think adding dates for the steps will move from To Do from a relatively simple and simple to use task list to a more complicated project tracking tool- and there are other tools for that How about instead creating the ability to promote steps to tasks when desired - with some link back to the parent task - this doesn't change the basic architecture in that all that are tracked are tasks, and honors the GTD model of elevating the next action by promoting the "next" step to a task. Don't turn this into a full project system - ala outlook tasks, which have sooo many fields and dont replicate MS Project. Keep it simple, quick and intuitive.
