I wrote 'We are going to get it, no matter how' which seems a lot more elegant than the suggested translation
Make sure you submit that. It's a unusual phrasing but certainly not wrong.

I wrote: 'We are going to get it and it is not important how' too but the 'nos importa' would show 'to us'...
The problem is we all forgot the indirect object. "Get it" is correct, but we're missing "to us"

we are going to obtain it and how is not important to us....this should be accepted but it wasn't. i cannot understand why.
"we are going to obtain it and it isn't important how" should be accepted

I put "We are going to get it and it does not matter how to us." and it was wrong! so I reported it.

Then my translation shouldn't have been accepted either, and it was. I forgot about the "nos" and translated this as "We are going to get it and it doesn't matter how". Duolingo accepted it. Maybe I should report it, and tell them to take away my heart, lol,,,
Duolingo needs to learn to accept non-literal translations. "We are going to obtain it and it is not important to us how" is a sentence that has never been spoken by a native English speaker in the history of the world.
Important is "importante", but "no importar" is to not care. i.e. "No me importa" = I don't care.
The reflexive form says it is not important to us. That is different from it is not important.
I think if you wanted to say it like that you'd need to say "...y no está imprtante cómo." Although the two variations likely would send the same message, I think DL wanted you to phrase it more along the lines of '...and it isn't important to us how.' I think DL has since altered this one to contain 'it isn't important how' as an accepted variation solely because the same thought it conveyed even if the words vary.

Ding! Ding! Ding! This Verbs: Phrasal Future Tense lesson 2'' section is so frustrating. I am about to give up entirely. I am very unhappy that DL seems to be throwing its own interpretation into things here. I wrote "We are going to obtain it and no matter to us how" reasoning that «nos» was important yet DL offered two correct solutions; the one underneath the title above and also "We are going to obtain it and it matters not how". The second 'correct' solution does not contain an "us" or a "we" in it. Where did the «nos» go?

In the sentence "Lo vamos a obtener y no nos importa cómo", the "nos" is doing reference to Us, like Grytr said; So, if you translate it like "... it isn't important how" you are losing some information, because now, you do not know "WHO doesn't care how?"(WE don't care). About "We are going to obtain it and no matter to us how", it is Ok, I do not know why duolingo does not accept it.
I, too, am annoyed at being told I am wrong by a computer. Computers do not speak any language better than humans, apart from binary.

I put don't mind how and it was not allowed. It most certainly should be - it's more polite
I had exactly the same thing the app suggested, but it did igot out wrong?

I wrote "we are going to get it and do not care how" apparently it needed to say "we do not care how"

I wrote "We are going to obtain it and do not care how." but Duolingo wanted a redundant "we" after the "and."
