[Feature Request] Implement folders for calendars/lists
Dear,
For now, I have lots of task list in the view, and for the newer one, it appears in the last of the list, and it is very inconvenient.
If there is an "Archive" option for every list, we could archive some lists for better view. If we want to see the archived lists, there should be some enable options.
Thanks.
If possible I'd prefer a checkbox in calendar app (for each calendar) if a linked task listed should be generated/shown or not. We use many calendars that should work as calendars only and are shared with all users.
We are a school with many students, teachers, parents, and have calendars like school holidays, school events and so on. These calendars shouldn't show up as task lists at all.
It would be great to hide the contacts's birthday calendar list
The birthday calendar should be ‘VEVENT’ only, so it doesn’t show up as task list. If it shows up, please recreate it. Note: There was a bug in server which causes the birthday calendar to be ‘VTODO’ as well. I don’t know which version of server shipped the fix.
You can either do
sudo -u www-data php occ maintenance:repair
which should update the birthday calendar to not have VTODO property (https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/16/admin_manual/configuration_server/occ_command.html#maintenance-commands) or you can do
sudo -u www-data php occ dav:sync-birthday-calendar
which should sync/create the calendar again (https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/16/admin_manual/configuration_server/occ_command.html#dav-commands).
It might be, that the calendar is created automatically after you deleted it, but I am not sure.
The PR to fix the problem in server was https://github.com/nextcloud/server/pull/16503, which was backported to stable16 as https://github.com/nextcloud/server/pull/16536 and was included in 16.0.4.
@raimund-schluessler Thanks. The second command changed nothing, the first worked. :) No the birthday calendar shows only on the calendar up. 👍
I think my two cents on this from this post have a better home in this issue, so I referenced my notes on that feature request.

We will implement folders for lists, so you can create a folder "Hidden lists" and sort lists which should be hidden there. I changed the title accordingly.
Are there still plans to implement it? I would really like to be able to hide calendars in the tasks app like I can hide calendars in the calendar app. Two use cases:
Work
- we share our calendars in our team to make it easy to check for availability, etc. Many people have in the same calender their appointments and tasks
- We also have a lot of shared Deck board, each comes with a dedicated calendar which contains the due date as tasks
- This results in a huge number of task lists I don't care about and makes it almost impossible to use the smart filters. Also the left sidebar in general is quite confusing with so many lists I don't care about.
- Also the dashboard widget is quite useless with all the unimportant tasks listed
Home
- Every family member shares their calendar with each other, so that everyone can easily check if a date would work for all family members
- Many of the family members use the same calendar for appointments and tasks
- This again makes the tasks app and the widget quite useless for me on my private instance because I see so many entries I don't care about that I miss my own tasks.
