When moving task to other folder it loses the link to parent project

[robert roszak]

Hi guys,

as stated in the title - when I'm moving task (which is a part of project in-progress) to other folder, it loses the link to parent project. To put it in other words, I have a folder called "Work" where I store all my work-related projects/tasks. I also have a folder "Waiting for answer" where I move tasks that can't be accomplished before I get an answer from someone. After moving the task to "Waiting" it stops showing its parent project and there seems to be no link between them whatsoever.

How can I get round it?

Regards,

Robert

You've moved the task out of the project tree so it is no longer part of the project. A task has to be a sub-task of the Project task to be part of it.

In a similar situation I add a context @WaitingFor to those tasks and have a view that just shows tasks with that context.

I concur with Nick - I prefer the context to inform me that I cannot proceed (@WaitingFor) rather than a folder.  This way, all my items remain in context with their parent items.

That's what I thought, but thank you for confirmation:) I'll switch to use @ instead.
