I just want to make sure that you have considered creating your own
custom views that would show active tasks excluding those that are in
a project that's not in progress. It's easily done and I will show
you the steps if you want.

Thanks for reminding me, you're right - an additional advanced filter with "ProjectStatus=In Progress" would do that. However, I would need to add this in several views that reference Active Actions, and I'm not sure whether the "active" status is used elsewhere in MLO. Also, I think a software should do the most obvious thing without needing to manually tweak it.

I'm bringing this up because there are different ways of managing
projects and this change would not always work well. In my projects,
the time frim project kickoff through delivery to customer is
critically important and closely tracked, and it's during that period
that the project is considered "in progress." But there are tasks
before that period, like analyzing requirements, producing estimate,
preparing a formal bid, verifying customer's receipt of bid, and
after that period, like verifying receipt of payment filing all
project documents and archiving project data files. I need these
tasks to be active even if the project isn't.

This could be solved by adding another project state like "incubating" between "not started" and "in progress" which would be considered "active" as well.
