I know that you can manually add the context to all the subtasks via "advanced/add contexts to all subtasks"
But I want this to happen automatically whenever I add a subtask.  
I have a folder "stand alone tasks"
subfolder  "@car"  
whenever I add an item to this folder I want it to automatically get @car as a context

Thanks!!

I can't find a way to turn it off for inserting a new task using Alt-Ins. are you sure it's not being inherited? You can display the context field in any view by right clicking on a property header.

on the desktop,Tools – >Options – > Behavior – >"default action when move task to new parent" controls this for drag and drop.

The contexts of new subtasks (always added by typing Alt-Ins, if that makes any difference to the behaviour) are always inherited from the main task, for me.  

I'd actually like to add an option to switch off inheritance of contexts for new tasks (as well as being able to set it to inherit start or due dates, or preset start or due dates to "today", just like I used to be able to do with Natara's Bonsai).
