Thanks for the info, I will double-check that on my website. Happy to hear it corrected your problem.
hi again
first of all a HUGE thx for this pack as it makes life so much better 
i have a small question as im beginning to understand slowly how to use it.
is it possible to move an action/s to a predefined project?
i tried this but it led me nowhere and kinda stuck:
im trying to move all selected tasks to a project named Dairy, see:
any clue how to achieve this (assuming its possible :))
thx a lot
Z
Hi, setting the project for an action is definitely possible IF it really is a project; I can't tell from your screen shot, but if Dairy is a task or subtask and not a project, it is not going to work.
From your example:
- You don't need the first action as long as you're working with the currently selected task(s).
- Set the second action like this:
Project format: Name tells the second parameter will be the name of the project. Set: All Selected Tasks will automatically set the project for all selected tasks (which is why you don't need the first action). Don't specify something in Task ID, it is not necessary.
If you really need to move a task in a task or subtask, let me know and I when I have the time I will investigate if it is easy to provide that functionality as part of the action pack.
thx again @kornichon for your kind help!
i guess you were right (im Very new to omnifocus and the terminology..sorry about that) . What i want indeed is to move it into to a sub project. Here is image to better explain
Also, for the project part i tried it as you suggested but it didn’t move the task to a different project, is I assume im doing something stupid 
here is the macro
im selecting task vanilla ice cream and issuing the macro expecting it to move it to project Ingredients2B. But nothing happens:
does that make sense?
thx again
Z
This should work, if properly selected Vanilla Ice cream should move to Ingredients2B.
- Make sure the task is selected in OmniFocus
- Check there are no spaces in the name after Ingredients2B (if there is an additional space, either in the project name or in the Keyboard Maestro action it is possible that the two names will not match)
- Due to a bug in OmniFocus, the set project action doesn't work if the project is empty. Make sure Ingredients2B has at least one existing task.
If it still doesn't work, try to temporarily switch "Ignore results" in your action to "Display results in a window" to see what result is returned by the action (OK = it worked, ERROR = oops something is wrong).
thx! yeah it was an empty project, go figure these bugs
would be super excited if you find a way to also move into other subtasks of a project!!
thx so much
Z
Hi! Any chance you had time to look at that? Thx a lot in advance!!

Yes, I had a quick look, it's definitely possible using a task's ID, but I haven't implemented that functionality yet...
I've added a new action to the latest version of the pack called "OmniFocus Set Task Parent Task" to do exactly what you want.
Note that you must specify the ID of the Parent Task; using the name of the Parent Task caused too many potential problems.
To get the ID of the Parent Task, you can use the "OmniFocus Get IDs of Selected Tasks action", and at the bottom of the action either "Display Results in a Window" (you can copy the ID from the window) or simply save the ID in a variable. I hope it's clear.
To get the last version, go to the official page and scroll to the "INSTALLATION" section: https://www.pierremorsa.com/mac-automation/omnifocus-action-pack-for-keyboard-maestro/
You will have to reinstall the OmniFocus Action Pack (you can replace the old versions of the actions) and the OmniFocusLibrary. To be sure, don't forget to quit and relaunch both Keyboard Maestro and the Keyboard Maestro Engine.
I coded this quickly, so let me know if it doesn't work...
@kornichon, this is AMAZING!
tested it and it works like a charm, cant thank you enough for saving me countess further clicks 
thx again
Z
May I suggest - if possible - that you edit the very very first post to reflect all the hard work you've done on this - and more importantly to get people to download the latest version of your pack... I just spent a few hours scratching my head after reinstalling the initial version of the pack -
FAO Peter and JMichaelTx. It is not intuitively obvious within Discourse how you upload and indicate the latest and updated version of a macro already in the thread. Is at the beginning, at the end??? Please advise.
I would like to do so, however for some reason I am unable to edit the first post. I think, but I am not sure, that a moderator updated my post and since then I cannot edit it. I asked for the permission to edit it again, but I didn't get a reply. But again, it might be me not understanding how to edit that post.

Hi Jonas, first I'm happy to see that the action pack is useful to you. If the folder is missing, you can simply create it. However, it should not have been removed by the upgrade to macOS Big Sur. If you don't see the ~Library folder at all, it's hidden but it's there. You can use the following command to unhide it.
chflags nohidden ~/Library
I'm on Big Sur and the action pack works properly, despite Apple's complete neglect of AppleScript.
hello kornichon,
It works like a charm.
I just realiksed, that I forgot to say thank you.
thanks for your help.
cheers
Jonas
PS: by the way, is there a way to set the "Omnifocus make Task" to flagged?
cheers
Jonas
Hi Jonas, thank you 
The current version of Make Task does not allow you to flag the task. I'll modify the next version so that you can flag it.
thanks !
