Thought I'd repropose an idea for OF that I first mentioned on this forum more than two years ago.
I would find it very helpful if items inherited due dates. In the same way that flagging a project will create a faded flag in its children tasks, I think any item that has a parent with a due date, or that appears in a sequence with a subsequent item that has a due date, should inherit that due date shown as faded in the due column.
Code:
sequential project: do taxes | due 5/1
> nonsequential group: gather tax info | due 4/1 (explicitly entered)
- get forms from bank | due 4/1 (implicit from due date of group)
- get info from employer | due 4/1 (implicit from due date of group)
- fill out forms | due 4/15 (implicit from due date below)
- write check for taxes | due 4/15 (implicit from due date below)
- mail in taxes | due 4/15 (explicitly entered)
- file away tax info | due 5/1 (implicit from project due date)
