task priority inheritance

Post by mihailmaksakov » Wed Aug 21, 2019 4:35 am

Hello dear developers!

The first thing I'd like to thank you for this great application ToDoList, it helps me to organize my work for a very long time.

But some time ago I've discovered some change in software behaviour that does not meet my expectations, and I think it may be optional, so I can configure ToDoList and make him work for my habits.

So the thing is, I always organize tasks as multylevel tree ordered by priority and expect that all Parent tasks priority changes automaticly when I change priority of some dependent task in accordance to maximum dependent tasks priority in a particular tree branch, so the most significant tasks are always pops up to the top.
But now task priority inheritance works in reverse order, from main task to dependent and I couldn't find the option that changes this behavior.

Please help me to overcome this problem. Thank you!

Best regards, Mikhail.

You need to turn on the following preference:

Code: Select all

Tools > Preferences > Tasks > Attribute Calculations > Display a task's priority/risk as being the highest of its and all its subtasks' priorities/risks

Thank you so much, this is exactly what I need. Looks like I'm having eye problems. :)
