Re: [MLO] Re: getting tasks to add TODAY as due date when in a filter mode

[Dwight]

Hi, David. I agree with Stéph that user selected behaviours in date 
fields would be useful, and that they are not supported in MLO. But I 
might be able to help with your underlying issue of new tasks vanish 
while you are creating them.


This is not my original idea, I learned it from someone else on this 
forum. I would look up the original author in order to give credit but I 
don't have the time right now.


In your advanced filter specification ass something along the lines of 
"OR CreatedDateTime OnOrAfter Now-0.0007"


Note that 0.0007 of a day is about one minute. Feel free to substitute 
other values like 0.014 for 20 minutes and so on. What this says is that 
your view should include all the tasks that you are currently seeing 
plus any task created in the last one minute. That gives you a minute to 
finish editing before the task drops off of the view.

User selected behaviours for these fields (in the same way that Bonsai
used to do) would be very useful. Perhaps this is being considered for a
future release.

[MLO] Re: getting tasks to add TODAY as due date when in a filter mode

[Stéph]

Unfortunately not. This is something I've posted as a request before - I'd 
like to be able to specify start dates to be the date I created the new 
item, due date to inherit from the parent and context to be blank. User 
selected behaviours for these fields (in the same way that Bonsai used to 
do) would be very useful. Perhaps this is being considered for a future 
release.
