I’ll add to #2 with another reason for past date task completion: sub-tasks with delays that depend upon the task “PROJECT BEGINS”. If I want to fast from 4 p.m. to 4 a.m., and I get home at 6 p.m., I need to be able to mark that the fast began 4 p.m., rather than 6:10 p.m. when I marked it complete.

Agreed.
I don’t like them either, mostly because I always feel that if the developer stops development for any reason (including retirement), I’m left with nothing. Also, by now everyone has experienced software that’s taken a big step BACKWARD. E.g. this “sharing phenomenon”, which I always thought a waste of time, has often resulted in dropping features. The most blatant example I know is Adobe Photoshop Lightroom. I’ve used the same version for 6+ years. When I looked at the new Adobe Cloud that Adobe raves about, literally half the features were gone.
Ditto for Quickbooks. I went from desktop to cloud…then called and cancelled my cloud, in favor of the feature-rich version I had been using.
Thus, I can foresee the day when I read…”You can now have shared MLO lists for team work!”, but with it gone is advanced filtering, gone are hourly contexts, gone are text tags.

I finally upgraded on release 5, hoping it would help both them and me... and maybe I would do a subscription but only if they finally organize how to change this base structure to accommodate API and scripting. But why would they do that after more than 10 years of ignoring the requests? Shoot they didn't even have resources to make a proper version for Apple computers.

I had submitted one of these feature requests in the past; but will repost it:*Option to make task defer to parent's notes.What I mean is that, I like my parent folder to have all my case notes (phone logs, observation notes, etc). The parent folder has many subtasks. Those subtasks are simple todos though -- they never have notes. So if one of those subtasks is currently selected, the notes pane should display the notes for its parent folder. This would be a task-level option; not an outline-level option. I can explain more if it helps.*Only one folder from this branch can be expanded at a time.If I have many folders, or subfolders, of the same level (i.e. all siblings of the same branch), then only one of them can be expanded at a time. If I expand one, the other one collapses automatically. This would be an outline-level setting. It would have to be easy to turn this setting on and off.*Rich Text in Notes.I tried getting used to Markdown, but it just doesn't work for me. I need to be able to edit the notes and see them at the same time.Thanks for considering.Stay Strong Ukraine!!!-steve
hi All, sharing some ideas here too, mainly thought for MLO Windows version:
- there should a simple/easy shortcut for switching through 'completed task hidden', 'old completed task hidden', 'completed task shown' (probably easy to implement, and high value added type of feature) note: I solved it since I use autohotkey, so found a way to toggle that setting through the keyboard.
- filters available at the top in the toolbar section, ideally fully customizable which filters you can have there OR make columns name filters (like in Excel, that would be super powerful!), but at min the ability to filter by 'due date', 'importance', 'goal', 'status', 'context' would be super productive. (I know you can set them from the Advance filters feature, but the ability to have handy at just 1-click would make a huge difference)
- ability to change 'status' field values from the main view (like you can change due date) without the need to go to the properties panel on the right. <-- generalizing this: any field that have a list of predefine values should be possible to be updated from the main view
- status field available in any task w/o the need to make it a project.
- 'Group by' popup should probably have a grid (instead of the current controls), such that you can easily move up/down the fields you want to group by, that would be much easier to set up and update as needed. Even with the grid you can keep the limit of only 4 group by levels.
- warning, game changer idea :-), a calendar view, I know and use the ability to sync up with Google Calendar, it works like a charm indeed, bi-directional update, just amazing, I agree, BUT, I think having a built-in calendar view would take the app to the next level well beyond competitors, this is the idea:
-- first the basic features you 'would expect' in any calendar view:
--- a section on the calendar page from where you can see your list of tasks, such that you can drop into the calendar the ones you want
--- ability to drag and drop tasks from any day/time to another day/time
--- the 'typical' day/weekly/monthly views
--- ability to filter the tasks as you can do in the existing views <-- this is the big difference / value add in comparison to use Google Calendar, meaning Google Calendar is great, but you can't take advantage of all the MLO filtering features, that's why a built-in calendar in MLO would be simply awesome
-- NEW (AND IMHO HIGH VALUE ADDED) IDEA:
--- when you drop a task (either from the backlog, or move one that was already in the calendar) into a time slot that already had a task, a domino effect is triggered that would move the tasks sequentially:
any existing tasks that were already in the calendar on the same time slot would moved automatically. e.g. if I have a task that goes from 2pm to 3pm, and place in that same slot a 30 mins task at 2pm, then the existing one would automatically move to 2:30 to 3:30pm, same would happen with any task that was after 3:30, basically when you place a task in the calendar (or move an existing one) you create a domino effect...(that's not available in any calendar app I have tried so far). tasks that fall from Day 1 would automatically move to Day 2, etc
--- ability to control the 'domino effect': flag available at the task level to keep the task unchanged if you place another task in that same slot, or by tasks moved due to the domino effect. Basically (it could be by default) each task has a flag that protects from being automatically moved by the domino effect, but you have the option to uncheck that protection such that the domino effect will move it. Real life example, you plan 3 things for day 1, ('enjoy time with the family', 'go running', and 'study machine learning'), and you only complete the first 2, so you move 'study machine learning' to day 2 where you already had tasks planned, those tasks that were already in day 2 are automatically pushed down based on the duration assigned to 'study machine learning' and the time slot you place it.
-- another neat feature would be to have Quarterly/Yearly/Next N Years views that allow you to plan at that level e.g an outcome I'd like to achieve the next quarter, the next second quarter, the next year, you get the idea, etc...
- and finally of course, :-), custom fields, it was already asked by many people already, so +1. Ability to create custom fields of different types (dates, list of text, list of numbers), then able to filter and/or group using the custom fields. Custom fields on top of existing MLO features would simply be 'rock and roll baby!' :-)
