Bullets, Numbered lists, and levels: Tag the parent for all childr

[HeWhoTalksTooMuch]

The ability to tag a parent item (highest level list item) is there.
However, the tag does not flow to its child levels. While this may not
always be desired (properties dialog selectable would be great) for the most
part: the children levels of a numbered or bulleted list retain their base
meaning in real life. (A "discussion" tag on a parent, I'm quite certain,
would normally include discussing the entire topic as outlined by the user.)
I hope this reads correctly... let me try an example:

A. Tasks today
1. Inventory of widgets is low.
a. Bob hasn't ordered in time
b. Existing stock needs sorted
1. Some have defects..reason.....
2. Good ones do exist
2. End of Microsoft OneNote trial is this week...purchase!!
3. Groceries
a. Bread
b. Milk
c. Eggs
d. Energy drink (for late night programming...)

If you tag list item A.1 with a "discuss with person A" tag, items A.1.a,
A.1.b, A.1.b.1, A.1.b.2 should all inheret the same tag. We don't need a
separate tag icon or instance just because each included thought is on a
different line. (Opinion.)

The same goes with the grocery list. You're going to want to buy
everything, once you fired up your gas-guzzler to go buy it, right?

Now, in some cases the ability to put discreet tags on any level of an
outline makes perfect sense. However, the ability to "inheret" tags from
higher levels makes more sense than not for many of lifes "normal" activities.

Hope this helps.

As you noticed there is no such scheme avaliable at present.
Perhaps something like that could be implemented in a new version.
