Richard, I tend to use the David Allen definition of a project (an outcome that requires more than one action step and can be done within a few months). By that definition you seem to have a project. If so then check the Project checkbox on the parent and select the View Next Actions by Project view on the To Do list filter. This displays the Project and the next action(s) for that project. Try it and see if that meets your needs.
