First of all let me congratulate you because your app is awesome. My live has improved a lot since I've changed my GTD application to doit.im.

A very small feature that surprised me to not have it is the context and tags inheritance.

When I create a project, I specify a default context and some default tags. Then, when I add a task into that project, I see that the new task don't have the context and a tags of the project set.

I think that it is the logical way to work but maybe I'm loosing something... What is the context and tags used for now in the projects?

Glad to hear that Doit.im could help you. :)

Now, tasks added to a project will not inherit the context of the project. We cannot guarantee that all the tasks you added to a project can be done in the same context as that of the project.

And here, you said that when you create a project, you specify a default context and some default tags. In Doit.im, we cannot add tags to a project. What do the "tags" mean?

Thanks for your support on Doit.im.

Yes, I understand that. In my propose it would be a default context and could be changed later.

What does it now this feature? What is setting a context to a project used for?

Forget about the "tag" it's a mistake.

Thank you very much.

In Doit.im, a project is also a task, a task with multiple steps, so we add the "context" property to it just as we did on an ordinary task. Now, if you add a context to an inactive project, the project will be shown under that context. (Here is the introduction about active projects and inactive projects. http://faq.doit.im/web.html#37)

In the future, we will support more meaningful function on the context of a project. And we will also consider your suggestion.

Shall you need any other help or have additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Thank you for your feedback.
