Select ALL tasks using the Multitool Taskbar
Charley Price
If you want to use the multitask toolbar to make a change to every task in a large (200+) list, selecting the list at the top only selects the items that have been loaded instead of EVERYTHING in the list.
If you want to tag everything, you need to manually scroll down and wait for sets of tasks to load until you get to the bottom, which is tedious.

It's slightly ridiculous that this hasn't been implemented since requested in 2019, especially with so many requesting it.

In 3.0, the select-all icon at the very top of the list only selects all the tasks at the top level, but not the sub-tasks (have to switch to "Show as Separate Tasks" view just to do this!). Otherwise, in Expanded View, I have to shift+click the first and last sub-task under each parent task separately, which takes FOREVER. Somehow, with 3.0, the Select All option has become even less functional!

Fully agree.
If I tick the parent task, subtasks are not marked.
I tried using ALT instead of CTRL. Unfortunately, that does not mark all the subtasks.
We must be able to mark subtasks in bulk, not selecting each one individually.

YES, this is a small update that would make a huge difference!

We've done a lot of research on this one and are still looking for the right technical solve here. I will update the status again once we have a good understanding of our technical solution.

Brian Shen: I'll say, the process of "select all" then scrolling through a list of 1,000 tasks so they all get loaded and selected is actually REALLY fast these days, with all the speed improvements, so for us, the workaround works fine.

Brian Shen: For the calendar view, can we have a select option to bulk move tasks to different days, etc?

Carson Can you clarify how this workaround works?
Carson
Asher Rumack Maybe it's changed, but, I'm just clicking "select all" in a list view (so at first, it only selects the 20/40/80 or so that have already been loaded), then you start scrolling, and any new tasks that are loaded are added to the selection, so you just keep scrolling till all the tasks have been included.

Carson Oh gotcha, my issue is that it's not selecting subtasks when I click select all :/

This. And if you do load everything and select all the tasks, performing an action may unexpectedly not perform the action on all the tasks too, returning a timeout error instead. It's especially tedious when trying to move a large number of tasks between lists.
Bonus points too if you manage to cause the task count to go negative when doing so...

This would also be very helpful in list view. As far as I can tell, selecting all tasks isn't an option from that view (I might be missing it)

Please add something to the header that would allow us to select all the items on the list with one click. Then if needed, we could "uncheck" any tasks that we wanted to exclude.
Sam Baron
And include Closed tasks. I'm experiencing a weird behavior where if you include closed tasks, you can't select all.
