[FR] Option to add subtask from within task details pannel about vikunja

[kolaente]

Should be fixed in dfed1f4 - please verify with the next unstable release in ~30 min if the fix works for you.

That already works. What version are you using? Can you reproduce this on try?

[RoboMagus]

Ah, yes. I see the problem now.

I am using the latest greatest versions for all Vikunja containers, and I could reproduce this in try.
The scenario that I ran into was typing the name of the Subtask and then hitting the button add a new task relation, which would then throw me an error cannot read properties of null (reading 'id').
After trying some variations on this, when just hitting enter after filling in the subtask name it works as intended.

I expected the on screen button and enter to perform the same action though. Is that not the case?

[kolaente]

Interesting, I was not able to reproduce the error about the missing property - I got an error the task would not exist (which kind of makes sense, given that Vikunja didn't create it on the fly).

Can you provide exact steps to reproduce the bug?

How should this work? The same when pressing enter and clicking "Add a new task relation"?

[RoboMagus]

When trying to reproduce now I no longer get the same error message. This may have changed when I've updated the vikunja docker images.

For the record, what I would do is:

1. Open an existing task in the kanban board
2. From the sidebar select add task relations
3. Enter a subtask title in the textbox.
4. Select subtask from the dropdown list.
5. Click Add a new task relation.

When going through the same steps now I get Request failed with status code 404. The list task does not exist.

To avoid user confusion, would it be possible to create the task when clicking the button when a task with the provided name does not exist?

I think that would be the best solution, yes.
