Microsoft To-Do - Suggestion : Nested Groups

Hello! I don't post often so please recommend any labels, or tags. Thank you.

 

Basically I'm just suggesting that we implement a feature for nesting groups, inside of groups. 

 

IE. (G for Group, L for lists, T for tasks, N for Notes [In the tasks])

 

G - Movies Watched

    G - Action

      L - Fast and Furious 5

        T - Watched 08/21/2019

          N - Joined by bob and taylor, watched at bob's house

        T - Watched 01/17/2021

          N - Watched by myself

      L - Fast and Furious 6

        T - Watched 01/18/2021

          N - Watched with bob

    G - Drama

    I have been wanting this for a while now, too. Please get this done, Microsoft.

      Concur with above. For instance, for me, I have state based tasks, that I'd like to group under "state based tasks" so that the list of states I work with doesn't take up so much room" Effectively making it so I have to mess with the naming convention in order to sort them usefully 😞

    SpencerOwens I've also been looking for this feature. I can't quite believe that it doesn't exist.

    I guess I can get  to Group > Task > Step > Note, thus sort of creating 4 levels of To Do's, but it looks like I can't display them as nested, and really multiple levels of nesting would be much more useful.

    SpencerOwens I also feel having a nested group in the TO DO would be great option. For the low project management having groups inside the project parent group would help in keeping track of the events and tasks.

    For individual level project management, To Do is a very good option so the more options for organization, the better. I use To Do as a low level project management tool for work and personal tasks. Being able to nest groups would be extremely helpful.

    There are far more realistic opportunities for a feature like this to be used, than just to keep track of movies you've seen. This effectively just transcends the level of organization you can utilize in Microsoft To-Do.
