This plug-in is especially helpful if you repeatedly create the same types of projects. You can use Templates for OmniFocus to create a new project from any project you’ve added to a “Templates” folder. These templates can include placeholders, defer dates, and due dates, and you can even mark specific actions or action groups as “optional.”
When you run the plug-in, you’ll see a list of templates and be prompted to choose where the new project should go. Depending on the template, you may also be asked for placeholder values, dates, and optional actions. Within seconds, you’ll have a customized project, ready for action.
On a side note, this plug-in was inspired by Populate Template Placeholders by Curt Clifton, one of the popular AppleScripts in our OmniFocus AppleScript Directory. While AppleScripts only run on the Mac, plug-ins work on the Mac, iPhone, iPad and Apple Vision Pro.
Please note that you’ll need to install the Synced Preferences Plug-In to use this and some of Kaitlin Salzke’s other plug-ins. She also provides detailed documentation covering the plug-in’s options and setup.
