Duplicate Task for all Contexts?

[Gary Petro]

I am not sure if this is the best way to handle things, but it works for me. If you can suggest something that will make my life easier, please do so.

I set up each of my clients as a Context so I can filter on tasks by Client.

Sometimes I have a task which needs to be done for several, or all, clients. When I do, I create the task and then duplicate it multiple times and update the context accordingly for each. It would be great if I could just duplicate it automatically for selected contexts.

I know I can attach multiple contexts to a task, but by doing so, I can't complete the task for an individual context. That is, I can't mark the task complete for the client.

Thanks.

Hi, gary. I have a suggestion which might save a little bit of work. Not a big improvement but probably a little better. Make a folder for each one of your clients, and make sure that the folder has that client's context. Then when you have a new task that you need to do for multiple clients, set up the task in some neutral location and then copy it to each of the appropriate folders. On the way into the folder if your options are set correctly, the task will be given the context of its parent folder. This is, to me, a little bit easier than opening each task and editing it to change the context.
