Tasks to inherit properties of the smart list where it is added

westis Pro says:

Is there a way that a task can inherit the properties of the smart list where it is added? That is, I have a smart list that I have open most of the time. But as the tasks added there don't get the same properties, the task disappears before I have the chance to change its priority for example.

Or maybe my search for that smart list is too complicated? The complete search looks like this: priority:1 OR dueBefore:tomorrow NOT dueAfter:today AND isShared:false

I'd like tasks added when in that task list to automatically get priority:1.

Thanks!

Well, if the smartlist is based on conditions, you could easily see the problem in that:

"dueBefore: tomorrow"

Obviously you can't set before tomorrow as a due date...

Tags are inherited (all that's inherited, I think) when a task is created in a smartlist... try to use that to your advantage.

Details on how task properties are inherited when adding to Smart Lists are available here. In a nutshell, the search criteria needs to be unambiguous to be inherited (so it won't work with OR, or as Landon mentioned, things like dueBefore).

Hope this helps!

Not really helping you in adding the properties but at least stopping the new task from disappearing even if it doesn't meet the (original) smart list criteria - check out this tip in Tips&Tricks.
