getting tasks to add TODAY as due date when in a filter mode

[david.r....@delphi.com]

I use many filters..most involve the advanced filter using selectable dates; I like to edit and add when in filtered mode so that my list is not huge and I want to add a task while in this filtered mode but before Im done the filter has hidden it; I then have to either remove filter, find the task as assign an appropriate date OR find it in "recently modified"; Is there some way to have new task receive a default date (w/out having it inherit the parent date

[Stéph]

Unfortunately not. This is something I've posted as a request before - I'd like to be able to specify start dates to be the date I created the new item, due date to inherit from the parent and context to be blank. User selected behaviours for these fields (in the same way that Bonsai used to do) would be very useful. Perhaps this is being considered for a future release.

Hi, David. I agree with Stéph that user selected behaviours in date
fields would be useful, and that they are not supported in MLO. But I
might be able to help with your underlying issue of new tasks vanish
while you are creating them.

This is not my original idea, I learned it from someone else on this
forum. I would look up the original author in order to give credit but I
don't have the time right now.

In your advanced filter specification ass something along the lines of
"OR CreatedDateTime OnOrAfter Now-0.0007"

Note that 0.0007 of a day is about one minute. Feel free to substitute
other values like 0.014 for 20 minutes and so on. What this says is that
your view should include all the tasks that you are currently seeing
plus any task created in the last one minute. That gives you a minute to
finish editing before the task drops off of the view.
