Script to return a task to the inbox
 

I thought I saw this somewhere on this forum, but now I can't find it.... Did I imagine it?

A bit of searching turned up this:

[url]http://www.sandro.org/omnifocus/index.php#reprocess[/url]

An alternative might be the following, which moves any selected task (together with its subtree) to the top of the Inbox.

[CODE]tell application id "com.omnigroup.omnifocus"
set oDoc to front document
tell oDoc
set refInbox to inbox tasks

tell front document window
set lstTasks to value of selected trees of content

repeat with oTask in lstTasks
move oTask to before beginning of refInbox
end repeat
end tell
end tell
end tell[/CODE]

Of course, that stray 'l' character belongs on the end of the final "end tell" statement in the script...

Thank you for spotting that :-)

(Amended above)

Thanks
 

Awesome.

Thank you both very much.

Hrm... The Omifocus window blinks, but nothing happens. When run from the applescript editor, the editor returns "missing value".

Any suggestions?

Which script are we talking about here ?

Sorry about that...

Yours Rob.

I've edited it slightly (above).

Might be worth trying again.

(I assume that you have selected some tasks in the right hand panel when you run the script).
