Hi!

If I understand you correctly, the issue is that when you close a parent, you want the children to be close too?

This is currently not a feature as the extension only works upward in the hierarchy, and not downwards. If you closed a Task, then the extension would be able to close the parent elements that was User Story and Feature. However, closing a User Story will not close the Tasks underneath it.

I am currently working on some changes in the rule engine due to #44 , so I can see if this is possible to integrate.

Hi @joachimdalen, did you see if this is possible to integrate?

Thank you for the answers!

Hi there, sorry for the late reply!

I looked into this and will add it to the backlog. The entire extension is written with the concept of working from the child to the parent, not the other way. Implementing the wanted changes will require pretty large rewrites as both the rule engine and admin interface will need major rewrites. It will also introduce some complexity related to parent processing, children lookup and recursion.

Adding this to the V2 milestone, but that does not currently have any timeline. If I can figure out a way to solve this without a rewrite, I will move the timeline closer.
