Simple Applescripting Help
 

I have a script called CreateCalendar that I would like to slightly modify.

I have it set up so that whenever I hit the script, the tasks with due dates are uploaded to my iCal (which syncs to gCal). This is sweet, but I would like to tweak it just a smidgen but am not sure what the variable is or if I am even doing it right.

This is the original script:

[CODE] if shouldMakeDueDate and (dueDate ≠ missing value) then
if labelPref = "prefix" then
set eText to "Due: " & taskName[/CODE]

The outcome is in iCal, an event is created Titled "Due: taskName"

I would like to specify it a little more so that it creates the title: "Due: (Project name that the task is currently in): taskName"

How do I do this?


Is there documentation for all the Applescript variables in Omnifocus?

The original script, if I missed something.

You can peruse the OmniFocus dictionary. Script Editor > File > Open Dictionary > OmniFocus.
