Can no longer move Action to Project!

Long time user…core function I’ve done many 1000 x is not working…

I’m newly unable to add an item to a project.

Say an item “1” in my inbox, I’m trying to assign to project “A”. In the inspect panel, I can add 1 to A. However, 1 does not move from inbox to A. When I separately open A, 1 is not there.

The only way I can currently move 1 to A is by having two separate OF windows open…and drag/drop 1 into A.

I have the same problem on Mac and iOS.

Bug? If so, this a huge one making OF unusable for me.

My doing…

I had changed a setting that did this:

Quick entry items were automatically going to Misc for some reason and I wanted them to stay in Inbox…

So, in “Clean Up Inbox Items Which Have”. I had selected “Both a Project and a Tag”…

So, reverting this change, fixed the problem…

But I still like to create a quick entry item and have it stay in the inbox… not sure why it’s going to MISC…

And yes, I’m submitting this to OF Helpdesk…

This mentions the…

Miscellaneous Project

Before we move on from the Projects Sidebar, let’s consider a special project: the Miscellaneous project, which can appear after cleaning up items from the Inbox.

The Miscellaneous project is a Single Actions List automatically created by OmniFocus when items are cleaned up that don’t yet have an assigned project.

Removing items from the Inbox requires they be assigned to a project. If your Clean up Inbox items which have setting allows cleaning up Inbox items that have an assigned tag, without an assigned project, the Miscellaneous project becomes their new home.

The Miscellaneous project is automatically created when needed, so it can’t be permanently removed. If you’d prefer not to use it, try requiring an assigned project in your Clean up Inbox items which have setting.
