I have been using OF since it came out and have been reading a lot about using Start Dates to help organize action items. But one thing drives me nuts - if I set a Start Date for today, the action does not appear in my Next Action list even if it is before the start time assigned to the action.
That is, it's 8:15am on 2/2 here right now, and if I have an action with a start date of 2/2 at 5:00pm, it is not considered a Next Action and disappears from my list, even though it is actually several hours before it is supposed to start!
This inconsistency has made me have to set invalid start dates (one day later than it really should start) or not use start dates at all, or be forced to use Remaining instead of Next Action.
Is there a reason why OF handles actions in this manner? (Even if there is, it would be great to have a Preference that lets the user say whether to respect the start time or not related to Next Actions.)
Thanks for your response,
Ken
