Hi there,

I struggle a bit adding a new subtask to an existing task using Apple Shortcuts on a Mac. I can successfully create a new top-level task.

Thanks, Mike

    Hi Mike,

    No problem, here is an example:

    tell application "Timelime"
    GetTaskIDs name "TaskName"
    if (count of previousTaskIDs) is 1 then
    set taskID to item 1 of (get previousTaskIDs)
    CreateTask name "child" parentTaskID taskID
    end if
    end tell

    I hope this helps,
    Niko
