Tt would seem logical (to me at least) that the deadline should be inherited. I.e. in order to finish the project in time one has to also finish the subtasks in time. Right now the following property is illogical from this point of view: (setq org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks 'invisible) since it hides the parent in the agenda even if the date is in the past! /Gustav On Mon, Nov 7, 2011 at 2:16 PM, Fabrizio Chiarello wrote: > On Mon, Nov 07, 2011 at 01:22:31PM +0100, suvayu ali wrote: >> On Mon, Nov 7, 2011 at 13:19, Giovanni Ridolfi >> wrote: >> > Fabrizio Chiarello writes: >> > >> > >> >> I have many tasks with a DEADLINE, and I wish to have their subtasks = to >> >> inherit such DEADLINE.
