Hi,

I want to use workspaces for separating hobby projects, work projects, guitar projects. Workspaces seem to work well, to filter only those tasks,next actions and active projects that are applicable.

However, I have a huge backlog of tasks that either need to be in either one of those categories. I thought I found a workaround, by dragging a tree into a folder called "Personal". Dragging the tasks appended the context, but only one level deep. In other words, children of that task still did not get a context addition.

Now, changing contexts of all individual tasks is a very tedious task. I have no other means beside the Android app, so workarounds using MLO for Windows is not a viable solution for me.

Is there any way to batch set a group of tasks to get a new context, or to reset them?

With regards,
- Jorgen

I use workspaces for a similar reason, for personal tasks or tasks for different work clients. I set the workspaces to be based on the zoom to a particular folder. It sounds like you have this type of structure set up, so could just remove the context filter and add a zoom to each workspace.

Nick, you saved my life. I spent a lot of time adding contexts to stuff that I wanted in a certain filter but it felt artificial. If I split up my tasks in three main folders

- Personal
- Work
- Computer

I zoom and notice that the zoom persists over all views. Nice!

Thanks,
- Jorgen
