Who is Confused by Next Actions Filter: Me or OF Thread Tools Search this Thread Display Modes

Unfortunately, I need a reminder to make my lunch every now and then. I've got a little Project called "Make Lunch". I have three actions in it:

Make Monday Lunch
Make Thursday Lunch
Make Friday Lunch

I put some dates on this project the first week:

Make Monday Lunch 1/1/07
Make Thursday Lunch 1/4/07
Make Friday Lunch 1/5/07

I've set my repeat settings to repeat these actions 1 week from the Assigned Date. So, whenever I make my lunch on Monday and check it off the list, a new action comes into being set for next Monday. So I might end up with this:

Make Monday Lunch 1/8/07
Make Tuesday Lunch 1/4/07
Make Friday Lunch 1/5/07

So far so good. For some reason Make Monday Lunch is purple. I can tell OF that this project is Serial or Parallel, but the color stays the same.

I'm assuming Purple means next actions, because when I sort on Due, Due, Next Actions, Any, All in Project mode or Context mode (the contexts are set to Lunch), Make Monday Lunch will be the Next Action regardless of Serial/Parallel or _regardless of the date_ assigned to the actions.

That does not make any sense to me at all. Shouldn't Make Tuesday Lunch be my Next Action given my example? I know it is is real life. OF seems to think since Make Monday Lunch is my Next Action cause it's first in the list.

Anyone else perplexed?

Brandon
