Hi! I just wanted to give an update. I was able to add a filter to the Active Actions view which excluded tasks that were "Suspended." Sadly, this does not work down the hierarchy. If I suspend a project, for example, its tasks will still show up in the Active Actions list.
And it seems there is no way to query a task's parent's Project Status, so there's no way to suspend all project tasks without specifying all tasks as Suspended. That is unwieldy. Would it be possible to create a folder, say "Backburner" or "Archive," whose contents could be easily excluded from the Active Actions view?

That's unexpected. How do I fix that?
