Questions on options for "selected task state filter identifier"

Automation OmniFocus Automation
#1

All,

I posted in this forum a while ago regarding a quick toggle to basically toggle the “Filter By Availability” View Options.

Within the menu choice, there are the following choices:

All
Completed
Available
Remaining
First Available

Right now my script toggles between “All” and “available”. I actually want to make it to toggle between available and “Remaining” . However, “remaining” doesn’t seem to be an option for the following:

	set newTaskState to "all"
	set selected task state filter identifier of the content of theDoc to newTaskState

Does anyone know how to programmatically set it to “remaining”

#2

Try “incomplete” instead of “remaining”.

I have a similar toggling script and I just checked the code, I’m using “incomplete”. I’m crap at commenting my code but, IIRC, I was having trouble until I scripted reading the available states.

Yeah it seems that all and incomplete are giving the same results, unless I’m missing something.

#4

Do you have any completed items in the list on which you are testing the script? That would be the only difference between all and remaining/incomplete.
