FAQPage Schema
How do I manage batch transactions in OmniFocus to ensure all task updates succeed or fail together?▼

Batch transactions in OmniFocus group multiple operations into a single unit, ensuring all actions succeed or fail together. You can begin a transaction, execute operations, and accept the changes only if validation passes.

Can I roll back multiple task updates in OmniFocus if a batch operation fails?▼

Yes, you can roll back batch transactions in OmniFocus. If an error occurs during a series of related actions, the rollback capability reverts the entire transaction to maintain workflow consistency.

Do I need omnifocus-cli installed to execute batch transactions?▼

Yes, omnifocus-cli is a required dependency. It provides the underlying transaction commands needed to begin, execute, validate, accept, and roll back batch operations within your task workflow.

What is the best way to preview and validate workflow changes before applying them in OmniFocus?▼

The best way to validate workflow changes is by using transaction previews before execution. This catches errors early in the batch processing cycle, allowing you to verify accuracy before accepting the final task updates.

How do I view the history of executed batch transactions in OmniFocus?▼

You can view transaction history to track executed batch operations in OmniFocus. This feature logs your task automation actions, providing a record of past transactions for auditing and workflow efficiency analysis.
