Hi, Stuart. I can't tell you where to look for it in the iPad,
but the "collapse all tasks" button (circled in red on the
screenshot below) is really helpful when doing this kind of thing
- as you work more and more of your collapsed (or rolled up)
folders get expanded, this button lets you close them all up in a
single tap.

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.
Hi
Stuart,
I had the same problem using iOS. I've found the quickest
approach is to enter the task into the Inbox using 3d touch
and add the due date (if any) followed by the context. As
Stephane suggests, I then parse this task into the Inbox.
The only step left to take is to then left-swipe on the task
and Move to the correct project. iOS does remember recent
projects so you can select these rather than having to type
the project name each time.
I can never remember the exact project name to parse the
actual project at the entry stage so found the above
approach the quickest for me.
Hope that helps,
All the best

Hello Stuart,
Have you tried "parsing" your inputs? There's some
guidance in the help file for the MLO desktop app. If
you know the project name, you can add the switch
-toprj<Project Name> after the text of your new
task. I've never tried that parsing switch on an iPad,
but it should work for you.
If input parsing doesn't work well for you (sometimes
it takes a couple of goes to get it to enter right),
then a quick way of moving tasks on the desktop version
(sorry, doesn't work on iOS) is to open a second MLO
window by pressing F3. You can drag and drop tasks from
the Inbox in one of the MLO windows into individual
projects in the other window.
Another option, on the iPad, would be to set up a
customer filter which shows just the contents of the
inbox and each of the active projects. With the list
filtered like this it will be much shorter and so it
will be easier to drag and drop tasks out of your inbox,
into a particular project.
I hope one of these options works for you.
All the best,
Stéphane

I use the visual
concept of Folder-Project-Tasks-SubTasks, i leverage
context as well. I have several views that help me
manage my tasks etc. The challenge I am finding is
that with the number of tasks I have it is not easy
entering tasks and getting them into the proper
buckets. Easy to enter a task with context,
dates etc.
What I am finding is that I have to drag a
new task related to a project and overlay it on
the project. Then the task falls into the project
hierarchy. On the same token when I add a new
task it will either go under a folder or just a
generic ‘inbox’ folder and then I have to drag it
down to the proper folder and/or project.
What I would like is to enter a task with
folder and project if applicable thus at entry the
task falls right in line with the proper
hierarchy. I am using my iPad more than a laptop
(Mac or windows).
Am I missing something or approaching
wrong?
