Automation in OmniFocus 2.14 (released 2016-04-26)

For those who only use Workflow, here is what I do instead of using Editorial as demoed by Ken Case.

I have a folder named “Templates” in which I store all my templates projects :

A template project looks like this :

You can see the placeholders which can be put anywhere you want.
Now if I want to generate a new project based on the template, I tap on the name of the template project and then I call the workflow from the sharing menu :



The workflow detects the different placeholders and ask for your input for each one. And voilà ! The project is generated as you expected :



The workflow is very basic and is a proof of concept.
You can download it here : https://workflow.is/workflows/f0343180a4624d529951b06e6bfc2a35

Now you can manage all your templates from within Omnifocus and review them as you wish.
