Dan,

In ActionComplete actions, waits, projects, and ideas are different types of tasks. Actions are active atomic tasks (actionable items), waits are delegated tasks, projects are composites that contain subordinate tasks (actions and waits), and ideas are deferred tasks you are decided to not act upon right away. All types of tasks exist within a context - or several contexts - defined by metadata (tags, people, and places). Tags are by far the most frequently used context markers. They can be anything that makes sense to you and meaningfully splits your tasks into manageable buckets.

Kind regards,

Dan,

You can attach both contexts to the project.

Kind regards,
Borys

But you could easily have a project that has actions in multiple contexts (A and B). So, if you put the project in context A, then when you filter by context B and decide to add an action for that project, the project won't appear in the dropdown because you are filtering by context B but the project is in context A. You'd have to remove the filter to get the project to show up.

Did that make sense?
