Hi,
Sorry I missed your post.
Thank you very much for your question!
Could you please explain your need more specifically so that we may consider it thoroughly?
Look forward to your reply.
Thank you!
But that is not the case. So I don't get what Project values do.

@Kassy, I have the same concern. It is around the lack of inheritance of the goal, context and project properties when creating tasks. Let me explain. When you create a goal, you can assign it with a context and when you create a project you can assign a context to it. The problem occurs is that when you create an initial DoIT task under a specific project, it does not automatically inherit the projects assigned context and goal. This requires the user to manually add it for every task which is unnecessary.
@MrYeah, if this is not properly explaining the concern, please clarify.
Have a great day.

Thank you very much for your explaining @agoodwin21!
Please allow me tell the reasons of such operation and how to make the operation easier. @MrYeah @agoodwin21
1. Project is seen as a multi-step task in GTD theory. For a multi-step task, each step may happen in different place, using different tools, with different people, etc. So we don't suppose the whole project just has one context. But there must be specific projects that do have only one context. So for this point, we'll consider your suggestion.
2. Goal - Project - Task - Subtask are four layers. Goal is a much bigger concept than project. So we won't consider even consider to add a context to a goal.
3. A task may either have project attribute or goal attribute, but not both. That is, you may either have Goal - Task, or Goal - Project - Task. But for either relation, there is a firm connection between Goal and Task, directly or indirectly.
4. To make setting context easy, you may just long-press any task and select the ones you want to move to the same context, and batch move to it. You may also do it under a project.
Hope I've made things clear.
And I've put your suggestion of inheriting project's context into out need pool, from which we go over all the needs carefully each time before making new development plans.
Thank you!
Have a nice day!
