Context Changing to Stalled if only project is in context
I just noticed a behavior that had me confused for a while and am posting it here in case others experience the same confusion. I submitted feedback to OmniGroup about this. You may want to do the same.
I think I've found a bug where a project should be showing up in a context, but when the last action is completed, the project disappears. Actually, not sure it is a bug but it may be a behavor issue. Steps to reproduce: create project called test project create action called action assign both project & action to a test context view the context pane switch to active context view select the test context both the project & action are appearing when I mark the action as complete the project disappears after much testing, I found the project is in the stalled context view. Here is the issue with this behavior. Yes I agree, the project is stalled. However, I'm not sure I agree the context is stalled. The context is still active, with a stalled project/group in it. I would prefer this to be visible in the active contexts, so I can either complete or add children to the project/group. To see the action and the project beneath it, and by completing the action, I am hiding the next action/group/project, is counter intuitive. When I look in the project view, the project is not listed as stalled, which it should be stalled and not active. |

Contexts are stalled if there is no available action belonging to the context (even though there might be future actions associated with it). I think this is one area (filtering) where Omni needs to do a better job structuring it or a better job explaining the current rationale so that it's clear. I've been sending my feedback through support ninjas, but perhaps KC can provide more detailed explanation here. Ken |
