Auto active, inactive, completed status of tasks with sub-items
It would be nice if the status of a task with sub-items was computed from the status of all its sub-items. The rule would be recap task status = f(status(sub-items)) where f gives 'completed' when all sub-tasks are completed, else active if at least one sub-task is active and else inactive (i.e. all non completed sub-tasks are inactive).

There is already an option to inherit completion status when all subtasks are complete.
The priority number is semi-inherited too. It will show the highest priority subtask number in parentheses if it's higher than the parent task's priority.
Adding some indication of active or late state could be sensible if done right. In Tree view, it does at least still show the parent and sort by status when that's enabled.
