Can I duplicate an action? [Req. Exists: Email support to vote for] Thread Tools Search this Thread Display Modes
Is is possible to duplicate and Action or Project in OF for iPhone?

It would speed things up as you could duplicate an action with the same project and context that you wanted and just change the title.

Thanks.
 
Unfortunately, I don't think there is (at the moment - hopefully it is something that will make its way into a later version).

Lack of item duplication is a pretty gross omission. It needs to make it into the next version.
 
I see that actions can now be duplicated, which is good (I guess), but is there a way to duplicate a project? In the desktop version, which I have, it's a simple right-click option.

My gf is interested in OF for her iPhone, but needs a way to clone a project and all of its actions, either by duplicating an existing project, or using some sort of template system. She wants to use OF to track treatment plans for patients in a medical setting, and they're frequently almost identical and quite detailed. Re-entering all of the tasks from scratch every time would be quite a burden.
 
I don't think there's a good way to duplicate projects in OF for the iPhone, unfortunately. Will she be syncing with a Mac? If so, one possible workaround would be to have a folder full of generic treatment plan projects she could rename/move to put into use, replenishing it on the desktop program as needed.

No, that's the problem. She has to use a windows machine at work, so she can't buy the desktop client. She needs to be able to duplicate a project just on the iPhone. :/
 
For $40 you could buy the upgrade to your license to make it a family pack, and she could sync to your machine (set up a different user account for her if you haven't already).

How?
 
On the iPhone, you can access the Cut/Copy/Paste menu for actions by pressing and holding an action's checkbox for a second or two. Duplicating an action then becomes a matter of Copy and Paste.
