I can set tags, obviously, at the project level which are inherited by the actions. I’d love to be able to set the appropriate customer tag at the “Customer” folder level so all the projects within would be tagged “Project” and “”. I’d love to be able to set a “Project” tag on the “Projects” folder so everything created within is automatically tagged “Project”. Projects within projects would be nice but I’d be happy with being able to tag folders.

Real world project management means many moving parts and infinite degrees of complexity and interdependencies and honestly, OF falls apart a bit in this regard in that one can ONLY have 1 type of Project, which can’t possibly cover all scenarios and applications…Īm I the only one who feels being able to take a complex project like “Convert 1969 Jaguar XKE to Electric” (just for example) and break it apart into “chunks” - some Parallel but many Sequential - and then define how finishing one “sub project” would allow the next “sub project” to become available to be the “finishing touch” OF really needs now that Tags are done? IMHO the REAL solution - which is yet to be implemented in OF of course, is the ability to nest projects within projects - with the flexibility of being able to make them parallel or sequential - AND having control over how they relate to each other…

Been thinking about this on and off for years - and was inspired by the recent post / discussion on Dave Alan’s belief that only Parallel projects are best…
