Continue tasks, with Projects/etc intact?

[leeola]

Would it be possible to make Continued Tasks preserve the related Project of the last task?

Eg, if you create a task with the name "Forum Support" and then add it to the Support Project (or possible support Tag, or whatever you prefer), and then stop & continue it later, would it be possible to have it continue with the project intact?

This is the way Toggl works by default, and i feel Alfreds use should work the same

This is certainly possible. I haven't used projects myself, but I'll see what I can do.

That would be awesome, thank you :)

We use projects for reporting where I work, so I'd love to add more support for them.

I was thinking of doing it with hashtags in the task description - the workflow could match hashtags found in the description against existing projects (and tags, potentially)?

e.g. "Writing project plan #project"

If that functionality existed it would resolve the issue with continuing, as the project would be parsed from the description of the task each time it's continued.

I think hashtags would be perfect for tagging projects. I would try and jump into the code and come up with a solution but python isn't my language.

As of fed2698, the workflow now maintains the project ID of a task (if it had one) when the task is restarted.

Check out #4 for the extended syntax idea (hashtags and such).

What would the update process be, assuming you haven't released an updated package yet? (Or for that matter, any idea when you'll push the updated package?)

[donners]

@leeolayvar You can open the workflow folder from Alfred (right click > Show in Finder), then initialise a git repo and add this repo as a remote. Then you can just pull down the latest changes.

Nice, thanks!
