Filter for grabbing one task per file

[nicky-johnson]

Use case: I have x amount of files, and want to see the next action per file (i.e. at the top of my list), essentially limiting the query to 1 item per file.

For eg:

File 1

• Test 1
• Test 2
• Test 3

File 2

• Test a
• Test b
• Test c

Tasks

• Test 1 [File 1]
• Test a [File 2]

As I close off tasks, the next item on the list is pulled through. So after closing Test 1 [File 1], I get Test 2 [File 1] pulled through to Tasks.

Is this currently achievable?

Interesting idea. I am unsure how the selection of the first task in the file would be identified, given the current default sort order.

However, if #1674 were implemented, you could do this by grouping by path and then saying you only wanted 1 task in each group.

That would be the most plausible. The onus is then on the user to order their tasks appropriately.
