Feature suggestion- Filtered view to "Show one action per project"

[Robin Lowenthal]

I like the way MLO shows one "Next Action" per project, because it keeps the todo list shorter and non-overwhelming.

But my projects don't always have a single next action. As David Allen's website says, (https://gettingthingsdone.com/2017/05/managing-projects-with-gtd/), "It’s fine to have multiple next actions on any given project...", as long as these Actions don't depend on each other.

Currently, in the "Next Actions" view, MLO finds the active action at the top of each project's task list, and THEN applies all other filters.   

For those users whose projects have multiple "Next Actions", 

I suggest a new feature such that:

**MLO will apply all other filters BEFORE applying the "Top of each project's task list" filter.
This feature would be called "Show one active action per project"

So for example, If my "Party" project has first subtask "Make guest list" and second subtask "Buy party decorations", and third subtask "Rent Helium tank"(marked important), and if I'm heading out on errands, I can filter for context=errands, importance=high, and "Show one active action per project" and I will see "Rent helium tank" on my filtered list.

Thanks for considering this feature suggestion.

Robin,

I can see your point with that feature. Maybe consider subtask "sections" in you project with those subsections having complete tasks in order. With the master project not being set. That should still allow you to perform concurrent tasks. 

Or do you only want it to show just one task but still have other tasks visible in a select setting i.e. when running errands?
