Today view duplicate tasks with deadlines
I'm new to Todoist, so this is maybe a newbit question.
I have the following structure:
Root Task (with a deadline)
Child Task (with the same deadline)
In the "today" view I have the following list:
> Root Task (with a deadline)
Child Task (with the same deadline)
Child Task (with the same deadline)
The first "Child Tasks" is inside the drop-down list for the Root Task.
I'd like the Child Task to appear only once, preferably inside the Root Task. Is is possible?

Hello Alexey,
The "today" view displays all tasks that have a due date of "today" regardless of their indent level. If a task that's due today has sub-tasks, a small arrow on its left side indicates it and allows you to take a look at what the sub-tasks are.
In your case, most likely, both the parent task and the sub-task are due today that's why the sub-task is displayed as a reference under the parent task. This is a feature that we've chosen to implement because if the sub-task would be displayed only one, when you query for "today", you would have to expand every single parent task on the list and search for one of the sub-tasks with the correct due date. With this feature, you will never miss any task due today even if its parent task isn't due today.
Best regards,
David
