Applescript to change the Project of a task?
 
Hi there,

I would like to know how to be able to change the project for an existing task. I have looked through the dictionary and found that tasks have "Container", "Containing document", and "Containing project", however, these are read-only.

Does anyone know of a way to do that?

You can [I]move[/I] a task into the task list of another project.

[CODE]tell application id "OFOC"
tell default document
-- SET UP TWO PROJECTS
repeat with strName in {"ProjB", "ProjA"}
set oProj to make new project with properties {name:strName} at beginning of projects
repeat with strTask in {"First", "Second"}
tell oProj to set oTask to make new task at end of tasks with properties {name:strTask & " task of " & name}
end repeat
end repeat

-- MOVE A TASK FROM ONE PROJECT TO ANOTHER
move oTask to end of tasks of second project
end tell
end tell[/CODE]

RobTrew, that was such an obvious way of doing it... My brain was looking for the hardest way of doing it while the right answer is right there.

Thanks a lot for your help buddy!
