Scripts would be amazing, especially if they could be triggered by a
condition in the data as well as by an action. For example, if this task
goes more than one week overdue, send an email to Joe with a copy to me.
Alternative, build an API and attach an external scripting app like ifttt

Yes, wouldn't that be great! Scripts triggered by actions (I create a new
item, it automatically sets the start date to "today" and the due date to
the same as the nearest sibling...).

I gotta' agree with Jeff... Strong scripting abilities would be amazing!
And yes, it would take care of many future feature requests, because
advanced forum users could help people write custom scripts, add-ons, or
whatnot.

I see frequent suggestions which would be very practical if we first had
the most important feature of all:
We need scripting!
It is related to the suggestion MLO needs an API, and the bottom line is
the longer you keep adding extra code to have more and more features, the
more bloat, slow-down, and unnecessary complications I have to deal with
even if I don't need any of those new features.
The more you keep changing in features without rewriting as an API-friendly
and scriptable tool, the more wasteful work has been done for nothing
because if you ever do finally make it all scriptable, those should now be
done differently instead of integrated in the base application, so someone
has to rewrite all of them to be reasonable.
The advantage of scripting is more than one might think because any event
can be a hook to run script in any context and once people can add features
then everyone could have the same feature but not if they don't need that
one. Then another could take the same feature idea and make it work better
for different circumstances with less effort.
The only problem with adding scripting or at least the API interface to
allow scripting is if you don't properly implement to be efficient and
capable but there should be many examples to learn from in opensource
communities.
