"Stalled" vs. "On Hold" seems like a distinction without a difference. If there's no next action, there's no next action.

I see the distinction in this way: stalled is unintentional and unwanted while "on hold" is intentional and part of the plan.

I can see this being very useful. Now I wish there were an easy way to just display projects with no flagged actions.

I plan out my projects as far as I feel like. Then, during my weekly review, I flag the actions that I'd like to get done that week. So essentially I use flags as a priority marker to make sure (or at least increase the odds) that all my projects move forward each week.
So at my weekly review, I could (and will) use the new stalled setting to make sure at a glance that none of my projects are awaiting more planning. But I could use the setting I'm proposing, viewing only projects with no flagged actions, to generate a list of my projects that need this flag.

And this almost seemed like magic: I have a "waiting for" context that I use for delegated actions or external dependencies. I've set the "waiting for" context not to allow next actions. So this new "stalled projects" filter now automatically identifies projects that are sitting there waiting for something. Neat.

i don't see the value of a stalled project list. what's so hard about looking at the complete list of projects and seeing which ones don't have actions? in my weekly review i just print the whole library of projects, with everything expanded, and add actions wherever needed. it doesn't really matter if a project is "stalled" or not as i give a little bit of attention to each project regardless of how many actions it has.
