If you want a task that functions as a header, which you can also add comments and files to, or if you've created a parent task with several sub-tasks that you’re worried about accidentally completing the parent task, then an uncompleteable task may be exactly what you're looking for.
Make a task uncompletable
When creating a new task or making changes to an existing one, add an asterisk (*) and space in front of the task’s name to make it uncompletable.
For example, if you want to create an uncompletable task called "Flight check-in", write * Flight check-in.
If you want to turn an uncompletable task back into a completable task, just remove the asterisk (*) and space from the beginning of the task’s name.
