Description

We are currently implementing Vikunja in with hierarchical boards for project management and saved filters for a GTD like personal task management. So Tasks trickle down from a Kanban organized project into your personal GTD. The only issue we're currently having is how to deal with project (GTD Terms not Vikunja Projects) subtasks. Ideally we could easily convert Subtasks to seperate tasks related to the GTD-project-card and the related cards would still show as subtasks in the card overview:

Which alternatives did you consider using instead?

it would certainly be a step in the right direction but not really solving the GTD problematic. In your wording I'd like to be able to convert checklist items to related tasks while keeping them visualized on the parent task like the Checklist Items.
