Might not be what you want, but if it would be useful to display the
parent(s) on a more permanant basis in To-Do view, then select Tools
\Options\To-Do List format, select the "Task path" tab. Make sure
"Encode task path" is ticked and enter 1 in "Task path depth". From
this dialogue you can also choose whether the parent is displayed
before or after the task ("Notation") and how much of the parent name
is shown. Personally, I have 3 task ancestors displayed which gives me
a good idea of the task context without having to switch back to the
outline view and means that I can enter fairly short and generic task
descriptions.On Aug 29, 2:51 pm, Richard C <[email protected]> wrote: > Sometimes it would be good to be able to access the immediate parent > of a task when in the To Do view without returning to the Outline > view. > > Would it be be possible to have a 'Show parent' tick box next to (say) > the Auto Update tickbox which would quickly allow you to bring the > parents of each item into view without altering the order of the > items. > > It would be a bit like Group by parent but this appears to alter the > order (Aside: can anbody tell me what determines the order of the > parents when you choose the Group by Parent order > > This would be very useful for example when you have a parent with a > due date that is determining the due dates of the items appearing in > the view and you want to update that due date. > > It would also be very useful to have the 'Done' tick box available for > the parent. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
