Subject: Feature request: inherited priorities
Date: Wed, 29 Apr 2009 15:40:41 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1241016041.16824.1312919817@webmail.messagingengine.com> (raw)

I would like to suggest that priorities should be inherited. After all,
if a task is high priority, then doing the individual parts of it must
be too.

There are 250 items in my agenda TODO list at the moment, and that's
with dependencies on, ordered subtasks, and missing all the less
important stuff out altogether. I rarely look beyond the first dozen or
so lines. With priorities not being inherited, adding a subtask to an
important job can cause it to plunge hundreds of lines down the list and
be overlooked. I have to add priorities to everything by hand.

Hope this is a reasonable idea,

Peter.
