I love the natural language parsing feature for task entry and have been using it heavily. However I'm having an issue and wondering if Anybody else is seeing the same?
This is on MLO3 for Android. I have the desktop version (v5) but am not close by and haven't tested on desktop yet.
The interesting thing to note is -tofld appears to only look at the first word and moves the task to a matching folder while appending anything after a space in the task title. This works fine for uniquely named folders. However, in the setup shown below a '-tofldProjects Required' will move the task into the 'Projects' parent folder rather than the 'Projects Required' subfolder.
Detailed test cases below...
Setup:
Next Actions (Folder)
Projects (Folder)
Projects Required (Subfolder of Projects)
Projects Wanted (Subfolder of Projects)
