Adding task to inactive project cause inconsistent behavior

Platform:All

Steps to reproduce:
Create a task using quick add, and use "#....." smart tag to bind to an existing project that's inactive.

Expected result:
The task should be categorized as "someday", as is with the project and all other tasks within that project.

Actual result:
The task is categorized as "NEXT".
Also it is now impossible to move this task to someday even if you turned the project back to active and again turn to inactive. Basically the project active / inactive now can't affect these orphan projects created during a project's inactive period.

Correction:
..... orphan TASKS created during a project's inactive period

Hi,

Now task with project will be automatically added to Next if you do not set start time. Do you want the task to go to Someday if the project is inactive?

Best regards,

Yes. I think that would make more sense.
Otherwise, having tasks under NEXT when the whole project is SOMEDAY is at least confusing. It will make project - task association inconsistent.

Hi,

Now when you inactive a project, we will not move the Next tasks to Someday. We will consider your suggestion seriously.
