For me it probably be the opposite. e.g If I had a task called "Project 1" I would expect it to be automatically marked done when all sub tasks are marked as cancelled or done. In addition, a lot of people like marking each task with notes as they change state so I think the onus is on the org user to take responsibility to manually mark sub components - it is here (on the individual items of work) that a lot of work goes into things like which set of states a task can be, notes, scheduling times, clocks etc. > > Someone in the "dependency" thread has raised similar features, but I > wish this can be implemented before the big "dependency" plan is > sorted out. :-) > > Wanrong > > > _______________________________________________ > Emacs-orgmode mailing list > Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list. > Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org > http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode
