Hi James.
Thanks for the prompt reply. I'm happy that you have it in your radar and may do something about it. With regards to the workaround, a Tomorrow view is not the biggest problem. At the end of the day I plan the next day by moving the task I want to do into Today. In the morning I move them back from Past Day's actions to Today in the sequence I want to do them. No big deal.
My main issue is with scheduled tasks. I know I can see what is coming in the scheduled list, but since the actions have not been created yet, I cannot work on them (apply tags, add details, etc). One option is to schedule the actions in advance with titles like "Do X tomorrow" or "Pay Y in 5 days" but it is cumbersome. One thing that I really like of scheduled actions is that the schedule date is added to the action description. If I schedule in advance the date will be when the action is generated and not when I need to do it.
Maybe you can consider a more generic improvement to help with this: an optional parameter in the scheduled action for "Create action n days in advance" (Default 0). Then generate the actions on the ( event date - n ) date.
That way it will be possible to work on the action before the event date arrives and the date added to the description will be the right one.JPerez

Hi James. I have been working with your suggestion for some time now and found it a good solution for my requirement. In the beginning, I was using scheduled tasks only for repetitive activities (fill my timesheets on Fridays for example), but now I use them not only for tomorrows activities but also to push away tasks to a more convenient point in time (to the weekend for weekend-type tasks, for example). In my view, unless you want to do something more sophisticated, you can close the ticket. Thanks again for your excellent solution.
