I have encountered a similar problem, when one task in project A is causing tasks in projects B, C, D, etc. to be non-actionable – all at the same time. I usually put the affected projects on hold, but then have to remember to activate them again by hand.
I thought about this a little, and here is my idea for a solution: triggers.
It would be great if we could add actions, at the task level, to be performed by OF automatically when a task is marked as completed. Two types of available actions that come to mind immediately are:
- take a specified project or projects off hold
- run AppleScript (passing a reference to the task just marked as completed)
