Also, I found this GTD blog which appears to have something similar, under the "Filtering Projects and Actions" section: https://emacs.cafe/emacs/orgmode/gtd/2017/06/30/orgmode-gtd.html However, this mechanism seems to report only the first TODO action which is tagged with "@office" and (I presume) assumes that any headline tagged @office is a "project". Also, after reviewing Bernt Hansen's org-mode setup, it appears that he uses NEXT keyword to distinguish between tasks that need to be done (TODO) and tasks that can be accomplished NEXT. This may obviate the need to show the first X items of any given project. So many options . . . . . .

Hello all,

I found this cool snippet at S= acha Chua's website: [1]. =C2=A0

It creates an= agenda view with headings marked with tag "project",
a= nd for each of those headings, it displays up to 3 sub headings marked TODO= .

I like this idea of seeing my projects (plus a f= ew TODO entries under each project)
in the agenda is a cool idea,= so I copy/pasted the snippet at [1].

I created an= example org file:
* Project 1 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 = =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2= =A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 = =C2=A0:PROJECT:
** todo task 1.1
** todo task 1.2
=
** todo task 1.3
** todo task 1.4
* Project 2 =C2= =A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 = =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2= =A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0:PROJECT:
** todo task 2.1
** todo task 2.2
** todo task 2.3
** todo task 2.4

And ran the custom agenda command on only tha= t file.

The output which is produced lists each pr= oject correctly.
However the sub-tasks under each project are the= *same 3 subtasks*
from Project 1

= =C2=A0 foo: =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0Project 1
=C2=A0 foo: =C2= =A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0todo task 1.1
=C2=A0 foo: =C2=A0 =C2=A0 = =C2=A0 =C2=A0todo task 1.2
=C2=A0 foo: =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2= =A0todo task 1.3
=C2=A0 foo: =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0Project 2=
=C2=A0 foo: =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0todo task 1.1
= =C2=A0 foo: =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0todo task 1.2
=C2=A0 foo: = =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0todo task 1.3

The= snippet at [1] is a bit more complex than I thought would be necessary for= such
an agenda view.=C2=A0 Does someone have any snippets or sug= gestions for how to
accomplish the idea above?=C2=A0 Is there som= ething obvious that I'm missing about
the setup of my test or= g file?

Thanks,
--Nate
