I can't seem to correctly make a subcontext, ie. "@Foo : bar". I can create @Foo, but when I try to create 'bar' as a subcontext of @Foo, it just creates it as a separate context (rather than a hierarchical one that you get if you drag and drop it).

I'm using code based on code by Curt Clifton, based on code by zooids, as follows:
set contextList to complete thePrimaryContext as context maximum matches 1
set contextID to context id (id of first item of contextList)
set newContext to make new context with properties {name:theSecondaryContext, container:contextID}

Despite saying "make this in the container contextID", it appears as a separate context. Any ideas?

thanks!

Just guessing, but you might try an incantation like:

make new context at after first context of context contextID with properties {name:theSecondaryContext}

Got an error:
906:1009: execution error: OmniFocus got an error: Can’t make context id "euSiwjFnDkn" of document id "b8S4l1DdM81" into type integer. (-1700)

What I've ended up doing is just creating all the contexts and then dragging them into the right hierarchy...!

thanks Curt! :-)

You could take a look at the "PlaceContextPath()" function in iGTD2Omni_Ver41.applescript.zip
