Thanks Christopher for your support with my idea to rename Goals to Horizon
I also agree with you that it should be possible to give soft or hard horizons It should also be possible to have a checkbox which calculates the horizon from the due date I would also like to see a field called Goals that allow traditional goals meaning purpose or objective to be stated. Folders are really parent or groups of unrelated tasks which are not necessarily a project Warm regards/gary On Saturday, 23 November 2019 23:11:58 UTC+11, Christoph wrote: > > > Am 23.11.2019 um 07:57 schrieb [email protected] <javascript:>: > > Goals are mis-named.
