Thanks all for responding. Helpful. For my iPad, what I have started to do I enter tasks with as much attributes I can with due date today. Then I roll up all folders. Then I slide the new task to have it cover over the folder it belongs to. Then I open that folder and then slide it over the project if it is a project related task. The key trick is just collapsing all folders, projects so my screen is not one long list. I have also created a few views that isolate tasks to help with sorting........
It would be better if there was a specific project field in the task attributes, and not a ‘code’ like statement that needs to be plugged in.
