Actions listed as 'No context' but I can't find them Thread Tools Search this Thread Display Modes
This is causing me to pull my hair out a little...

All my actions have to have contexts and projects, and I have a number of contexts defined. However, when looking in the context view OF reports 4 actions without context. When I click on the no context line I see nothing, even when I set the view options to Complete or Remaining.

I'm sure there's something simple I'm missing, can anyone help?

EDIT: here's 2 screenshots of the line and the view settings:

The only thing I can think of is maybe you have set focus on particular projects? I would try hitting View -> Show all projects.
 
Thanks Lucas. I tried this, but no joy...
 
I would guess you put some projects on hold, and they are not visible on the projects side. I would switch over to projects mode and make sure that "all projects" is selected in the projects filter. I didn't think that that would still make them show up in the no context group, but I could be mistaken about that. There's only a handful of places for actions to hide, really.
 
Go to View > Planning Mode. Create a new project and name it ProjectA. Do not assign a default context to the project. Create a task in that project and name it Task1. Do not assign a context to the task. Go to View > Context Mode. Be sure the View Bar settings match those in your first image. Does the count badge for No Context increase by one? Are you able to see Task1 in No Context?

Hi Kaijin,

I've done this and I am able to see Task1 in No Context. The count has increased to 5 and Task1 is the only task that is visible.
