Description Benjamin Muskalla CLA 2010-11-11 11:28:22 EST 
Using TaskRelation.parentTask (which is an INWARD containment) doesn't result in a sub/parent task structure in the task list. Only seems to be recognized by the quick outline.

Outward connections are handled in SynchronizeTasksJob#synchronizedTaskRelations while nobody references TaskRelation.INWARD. I currently see no workaround if your repository only provides you with the inward information. Any ideas?

It is correct that the only relations that are currently honored and used by the tasks framework are subtask relations. I don't know that there is a good work-arounds for solve this.
