Parent Action Does Not Show in Contexts: Contact Omni Thread Tools Search this Thread Display Modes
I just skimmed your web page, but it seems to me like what you really want are subprojects. I'm sure this has been discussed to death, but does anyone know the answer? Are subprojects coming to OF? The current implementation of action groups seems like a poor substitute to true subprojects, and I think parent/children actions could be better used via a different interaction paradigmn.
 
yes and no...

part of the problem is what dictates a sub-project and it's own project.

Please don't ask me to go through of an example of how insane it would be to split a project up like what I've already posted, into each separate projects.

The reasoning of why it's important to have parents and children is on the web page.

Projects with completed children have the same problem as parents with completed children.

They don't show up in contexts.
or
There is no Filter in OmniFocus to show Projects that have no children.

Curt's script is an excellent workaround.
