> Not sure how child tasks should be handled TBH. To me child tasks are self-evident. Which is that when you add a task to something that is in one of the board lists on a board, it self-evidently keeps both the Board and the List that has focus i.e. it's 'parent' - if there is a parent as such tha

Hi, Alex. The way recurrence works in MLO, the formula (eg recurs the last weekend day of every third month) describes the due dat; the start date is calculated by subtracting the lead time from the due date. As a result you can't specify a recurrence without setting a due date. But you can set

Hi, Troy. I support this suggestion and I hope it happens. But I know that it would be a big change, and in the meanwhile I am all about the workaround, so let's discuss how you could schedule your expense reports. First, you want the task to go away once it's completed and not appear in your

Is your thinking to use the different lists for different 'actionable statuses'? i.e. Is your thinking to facilitate a dead-easy movement of tasks between different statuses? And would new child tasks added to a parent task that is in any given list, inherit the same list as the parent task? If s

I have long been arguing in the beta group for a List capability like Trello. The combination of a hierarchical task list and lists would be a killer USP in my view. Richard On 2016-11-16 12:59, John . Smith wrote: For me quick informal hierarchies are crucial. Only today I added three tha

Which ASCII characters are you referring to? Are you referring to DBCS (double-byte) characters? Also, if you have any difficulty creating Evernote links using Mike's hint, write back and say so and someone will give you step-by-step instructions. On November 16, 2016 9:12:01 AM Mike McCalli

+1 for me. Another example would be to file my previous month expense report. Don't want it to show up until the first, but it doesn't really have a due date. I just want to be reminded and for it to reset once I complete it and I don't want it clogging up my screen until the first of month.
