[RFE] hierarchical projects

[hgkamath]

Firstly, thanks for developing the opensource time-tracking tool.
I was trying out your PWA, and it got me thinking.

Presently in the 'task add' dialog, one can't add a whole project as a task of another.

I was thinking of having a "life" project as a top level, and say have other life-roles being tasks, and projects in those roles being tasks of others.
Does this use-case fit in with your roadmap for titra.

Some things to consider

• A single person does not work on two projects at the same time, though members of a team might.
• Visualization
  • The inner details/time-allocations of a sub-project are not visible in the graph of a higher level project.
  • One should be able to click through, ascend/descend parent/child projects
• Time spent by default is supposed to accumulate to a higher level project, perhaps configurable to not do so.
• Billing by default does not accumulate to a higher level project, perhaps configurable to do so.
• Projects may not form a cycle. One way to avoid cycles is to have project levels, wherein a project with a level no (ex 3), can only add a project as a task, if that project is assigned a larger numerical level (ex 4,5 .. )
• While a project may be usually a task of only one other project, perhaps it can additionally be a task of several projects.
• A project may not be archived/deleted while it is still a task of another project.

Interestingly this has already been requested a couple of times before. So far we didn't have the capacity to work on it but since we have a bigger team now we will discuss the feasibility in our next Sprint meeting. Thanks for explaining your use case in detail!
