Project names not showing in project column of view: Why?

[Paula Martin]

This appears to occur whether or not a project has tasks.  Only for some projects but not all.  Not able to see a pattern.  Need to see project for each task in the PROJECT column of my view.  Thanks! Paula Martin

Hello Paula,

I've just tried this with my own MLO outline. The project name is appearing consistently for all subtasks of each project (and sub-subtasks, etc, right down the outline hierarchy). The project itself doesn't show a project name in that column - unless it's a subtask of another project, in which case it will show that parent (or grandparent) project's name. This is consistent with the aim of the column which is to tell you what project a task belongs under. Maybe it would be clearer if the "project" column was actually named "parent project"?

If you're looking at your list of project subtasks in a flat view, the above might not be immediately obvious. I checked it in a view with "show hierarchy" switched on in the filter criteria, in which it's easy to check the behaviour.

Does that fit with what you're seeing? Also, can that column, along with the filters, grouping and sorting in your view be made to achieve what you need?

All the best,

Stéphane

Hi, as is common in MLO there's more than one way. If you want every task in every project to show you what project it's in, go to settings>Current MLO data file>To-Do-List Formatting>Projects and check the box called "encode project name." Then you can choose, in the event that a task is at the bottom of a stack of projects-within-projects whether the project to be shown is the top-level or bottom-level project.
