Color the parent text or subtasks should inherit list from parent.

Feature Request
For example, I have a list for Project A with tasks and some tasks with sub-tasks. If I want the sub-tasks to be part of Project A, I have to assign them to it separately. That's fine, but when I go to view Project A, the sub-tasks show up twice: once under the task (all sub-tasks show up whether they are in Project A or not, which is fine), and separately as their own task. I would like to hide the duplicate separate task, and only show the nested version. For sub-tasks whose main task are not in Project A, the current implementation is great. I have attached an image for clarity. 2 is a duplicate of 1. I would like the option to hide 2 and only view 1. 3 is great as is. Thanks, great app.

    **Sub-entry should inherit the list from Parent-entry by default**

    e.g. sub-tasks, sub-notes

    **Apply color of list to sub tasks**

    When I have a task on a list, the task inherits the list color. If I create a subtask, the color is not inherited so I have to add the sub task to the list as well. frustrating.

    **Subentry in Lists** when I create a subentry under an item in Lists, the subentry does not automatically include in Lists. It would be very helpful if subentry could be automatically included in Lists to improve visibility and task management.

    **How can I set List for my subtasks in the template?**

    I want to keep all of my entries having a list. But when I creat a new task from the template, I can only set the List for the subtasks by my hand.

    **Auto Add Tags and Lists Connected for Sub Tasks**

    When I create a sub task for a parent item that has a list or tag on it I would like the sub task to carry that tag. It is very frustrating to go and add the tag back. I would rather the tag be automatically selected and then I can remove it or add to it.
    Maybe even a quick Dialogue box that says do you want to keep the same tags/lists? upon saving it

    Interesting. Maybe I can color the parent text. I don't think it's feasible to only show the nested version of the sub-task. I understand now why you want it, but I think in most cases, people would want it to show.

    I was assigning, say, the first half of the subtasks to one day and the second half of the subtasks to the next day, so they were decoupled from the top level task. When I view those subtasks in the "day" view, they aren't assigned to the list and I miss having the color associated with them. I can change my approach to be just assigning the top level task to a day, then migrating it and any open sub-tasks at the end of the day, and that will work well enough. Thanks again!

    I understand the request. Out of curiosity, I'd like to understand why you want to have the subtasks as members of the list? I.e. what is stopping you from clearing the list from the subtask
