top-level "last updated" date not updating
I think I have found a bug. In many cases, the "last updated" field in top-level tasks does not update when a lower-level task is added or modified. This means that in order to see which top-level tasks have been updated, a user must expand each one and check the "last updated" dates for each task. It seems that the correct functionality should be that when any lower level task is updated, the top-level task should update its "last updated" date to the present date.

Hello Rob,
Have you tried 'sd' shortcut? It toggles 'last updated' information.
Also, keep in mind that there is 'changed:week' which filters current list, and if you press "Search all lists" - it performs global search across all lists.Hope this helps,

I tried your suggestion, Kiril, and the problem with the changed:week command is that it lists the tasks without showing who they are assigned to, or what date they were added. So its not really useful, and in order to see what tasks have been added or completed for each top level category I still have to check each sub-task one by one.
Would it be better if I created a new feature request for this instead of this bug report?

Thanks, Kirill, that suggestion is helpful. I guess I'm making a feature request then, instead of a bug report: I think the most logical behavior regarding dates is for changes in subtasks to automatically update the date on parent tasks. Since a subtask is a subdivision of a parent task, it stands to reason that any change to a subtask is a change to the parent task.

Hello Rob,
Checkvist never updated "last updated" of the parent task when a child task was added/changed.
If you want to see tasks updated recently, you can filter current list with a filter like changed:today, changed: yesterday or changed: current week
Would it help in your case?KIR

Here's a screenshot showing what appears to be the bug. The screenshot shows that even though two subtasks have been updated in October, the "last updated" field of the top level task still displays a "last updated" date of September 21.
