Unfortunately my workaround doesn't always work due to the automatic context inheritance (which I really don't like).
I do have another workaround that seems to be working better. Instead of creating a new task, I create a new sub-task. The new subtask will inherit its parent tasks contexts so it will usually match the filter. You can then edit it and un-subtask it. Really I think the right solutions are to leave new tasks around until selection changes (and to get be able to turn off context inheritance). d On Tuesday, July 2, 2013 1:44:06 PM UTC-7, David Rees wrote: > > My workaround in some views is to also include tasks that I have not > assigned a context yet, but that doesn't work in cases where a parent has a > context because the context sometimes inherited (depending on how the new > task was added).
