Subject: Agenda filtering
Date: Mon, 24 Oct 2016 07:56:18 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87h98194od.fsf@aquinas.i-did-not-set--mail-host-address--so-tickle-me> (raw)
Hi everyone,
I have an Org file with a lot of projects that look like this:
* TODO Project A
DEADLINE: <2016-10-28 Fri>
** NEXT Subtask 1
** TODO Subtask 2
* TODO Project B
DEADLINE: <2016-10-31 Mon>
** DONE Subtask 1
** NEXT Subtask 2
Some of these projects have deadlines far in the future, some near. I'd
like to focus on just the NEXT tasks for projects with upcoming
deadlines.
Is there a simple way for me to say to the agenda, "Show me all (and
only) the NEXT tasks that are part of a project whose deadline is before
(say) 2016-11-01"? It seems like this should be possible with the
built-in agenda but I can't quite figure it out. The tricky thing is
filtering by the deadline of the parent project, which might be several
levels up.
Many thanks for your insights!
Best,
Richard
