"Upgrade" any card to folder/board

[Xilef11]

Hi,

I couldn't find how to do this, but I feel that it should be possible since it's basically the behaviour that's used for templates.

One workflow with subtasks that I think has been brought up in other issues is to create a sub-board for each task card on which its subtasks would go. That's similar to the subtask behaviour of teamhood (there should be an animation right on the page I linked), although I don't think the UI needs to be as refined - switching to a subboard like in the templates features would be fine.

I know it's possible to link a board as a card, but as far as I can tell that requires creating the board before creating the card. It would be nice to be able to create a card and then, later on, link it to a board (with an option to create a new one). The ability to set that as default behaviour for subtasks would be nice, but given the current weirdness of the subtasks feature I expect it would be harder to implement.

What behaviour at teamhood page? I got lost somewhere in your explanation. Any screenshot mockups?

Well, someone emailed me that he is currently designing more refined UI for WeKan. It remains to be seen later. WeKan does not have so many fancy special effects yet. Although, at Admin Panel it's already possible to choose board loading animation type from list of choices.

I managed to extract the link to their animation. That is indeed a fancy special effect that I don't think is really necessary, but it gives the idea of having a board for the subtasks of each task

Playing around a bit more, I confirmed that I would be looking for the "linking a board to a card" feature but in the reverse workflow. I.e., right now, it's

1. create a board/sub-board which should be the link target
2. create card in "parent" board and choose "link"
3. choose the board of step 1 as the link target

What I'd be looking to do is

1. create card in "parent" board
2. create board/sub-board which should be link target
3. select "link to board" (or whatever) in the card from step 1
4. choose board from step 2 as the link target

Having a "create new sub-board" option in step 4 would streamline the workflow. Other integrations with the existing subtask feature would be nice, but not strictly necessary IMO.

Do you mean:

a) Converting card to board ?

b) Linking card to another card ?

c) Something else ?

@xet7 Do you said that someone emailed you about more refined UI for WeKan. This people said in what components was working on? Thanks!

I would presume full theme. Not just some component. I don't know has he made any progress.

Current WeKan UI is too complex with popups. For example, I have not yet figured out how to fix #4572. Card etc should be fullscreen, with minimal HTML/CSS/JS. I'm trying to figure it out.
