Inherited due dates Thread Tools Search this Thread Display Modes

Thought I'd repropose an idea for OF that I first mentioned on this forum more than two years ago.

I would find it very helpful if items inherited due dates. In the same way that flagging a project will create a faded flag in its children tasks, I think any item that has a parent with a due date, or that appears in a sequence with a subsequent item that has a due date, should inherit that due date shown as faded in the due column.

Code:
sequential project: do taxes           |  due 5/1
> nonsequential group: gather tax info |  due 4/1 (explicitly entered)
  - get forms from bank                |  due 4/1 (implicit from due date of group)
  - get info from employer             |  due 4/1 (implicit from due date of group)
- fill out forms                       |  due 4/15 (implicit from due date below)
- write check for taxes                |  due 4/15 (implicit from due date below)
- mail in taxes                        |  due 4/15 (explicitly entered)
- file away tax info                   |  due 5/1 (implicit from project due date)
