When I use a filter to create a flat view, I often find that I have actions that don't have enough information in their text field to know what they really mean without seeing their heirarchy. For example I might have

GTD -> P/home -> Move -> Change Address -> BofA

Which clearly tells me that as part of the move, I need to change my address with Bank of America.

But in a "Next Action" view, I just see

BofA

which is highly cryptic even to me. Is there a way, with a mouse-over or right click or any other way to quickly see the heirarchy of an item in a flat view??

There have been several variations of this request. So, its on our list.

I'd be happy with just an option to have the text of the parent copied into the note field of any new item. Preferably with an option in outline preferences to make that the default behavior for new items.

I highly second that. Another option could be that the parent is considered an attribute of the child of the
child not that dissimilar from a path /root/parent/child. I would definitely find this useful in managing
child items. After all the children are related to their parents whether it is good looks, intelligence or DNA.

In fact, in your export fields you have an export field called #parent# I thought for sure that would reference
the name of the parent but it just references the ID number.

Thank you for all you do.
