Hi, Pat. As with anything in MLO there are multiple ways to do this, and
you should pick the one that you are most comfortable with.
I think that the easiest way to set aside a blocked task is to tick the
"hide branch in to-do" box for the blocked task. The blocked task will
vanish from your to do list and will be shown in grey on your all-tasks
list. The blocked task will be replaced with the next task, if you complete
that task, the following one will appear and so on. When you clear the
"hide" indicator for the blocked task it will re-appear on the to-do list.
This is simple and easy but it does not meet your requirement that the
blocked task remain on the to-do list. You could address this by building a
custom view that shows both active actions and also hidden tasks. This will
get you exactly the view you want, but it is no longer easy or simple. If
you want to try this solution and you would like help setting it up, let me
know.
Here is an easier way to get multiple tasks into the view. Suppose that you
have a project with ten subtasks, numbered 1 through 10. Task 3 is blocked
and you want to work on task 4.
- First, add a new task above the blocked task (between task 2 and task 3.)
- Mark the new task as a folder
- Move the blocked task and the following task into the folder. On Windows,
you can select the blocked task and click the left-pointing arrow in the
header, then do it again for the following task.
Now, all tasks in the folder will appear in your to-do list. But if you
finish the following task, all you will see will be the blocked task. The
task after the following task will not appear unless you move it into the
folder as well.

I generally have my projects set so subtasks are completed in order.
However, I often run into situations where I can't complete a task because
I'm waiting for a response from another party. In that case I would like
to keep that subtask in the To-Do list (with maybe a note that it's
pending) but allow the next subtask in the project to show in the To-Do
list also. Is there anyway to do that? If not, that would be a very
useful feature to add imo!
Thanks.
Pat
