Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

In some situation it would be nice to see, if there are collapsed subtasks in a task or not. Especially when reusing a big tasks with many sub and subsubtasks for another time it could help to find every sub task which is maybe hidden

Describe the solution you'd like

Maybe it would be possible to display the number of all subtasks of a task in parenthesis beside the task description like
Task1 (3)
Subtask 1.1
Subtask 1.2
Subtask 1.3

Describe alternatives you've considered

Another alternative for finding every subtask when reusing big tasks for another time could be an "expand all subtasks recursive" button.

Research direction

Done means each task title displays the total number of its subtasks, including nested subtasks, without preventing expansion or reuse of tasks.
