Hello list -- here goes a quick crazy question:

Is there a way to extend org in a way that, whenever I write/add a new
item as a direct child of a Projects list, it will tag this item as
:PROJECT: automatically ? This could happen when I press enter or if I
enter the item through another command (instead of writing it directly
in the buffer -- like when refiling).

Marcelo.

Tags are normally inherited - so if you tag the parent task
with :PROJECT: then ALL tasks under that will inherit the :PROJECT: tag.
There's no need to tag everything under it with the :PROJECT: tag.

Alternatively if you keep all of your projects in a separate
projects.org file you can add a FILETAGS entry that puts the :PROJECT:
tag on every entry in that file.

This way your child task is part of a project or not based on where it
is currently.  You're free to refile it somewhere else (that is not a
project) and it loses it's project tag.

HTH,
Bernt
