Applescript to change the Project of a task? Thread Tools Search this Thread Display Modes
Hi there,

I would like to know how to be able to change the project for an existing task. I have looked through the dictionary and found that tasks have "Container", "Containing document", and "Containing project", however, these are read-only.

Does anyone know of a way to do that?
 
You can move a task into the task list of another project.

Code:
tell application id "OFOC"
	tell default document
		-- SET UP TWO PROJECTS
		repeat with strName in {"ProjB", "ProjA"}
			set oProj to make new project with properties {name:strName} at beginning of projects
			repeat with strTask in {"First", "Second"}
				tell oProj to set oTask to make new task at end of tasks with properties {name:strTask & " task of " & name}
			end repeat
		end repeat
		
		-- MOVE A TASK FROM ONE PROJECT TO ANOTHER
		move oTask to end of tasks of second project
	end tell
end tell

RobTrew, that was such an obvious way of doing it... My brain was looking for the hardest way of doing it while the right answer is right there.

Thanks a lot for your help buddy!
