Script to import from Things 3 into Omnifocus 3

FYI.... "set status of newTask to dropped" is not supported on tasks...just projects. I changed the line to tag the Task as Cancelled instead. Some additional code to create a CancelledT3 tag for users to rename later would probably be good to add. If I get enough time I'll code it and send along.

The script throws an error this line.

I'm unable to help you debug remotely much as I'd like to. There are so many different ways these kind of scripts can go wrong and I've no idea what enhancements Things has added since I updated this script. I suggest you comment this line out and see what happens, just add a double dash -- before the line throwing an error to do this. Good luck.

Okay. thanks for ur suggestion and the script.

The script helped me move from Things 3 3.15.17 (31517520) to Omnifocus 3.13.2 (v151.28.0) this week.
It took me a few tries; here are a few notes:

• My first try got an error: "lonely project" wasn't found, and the script exited with a partial transfer. I didn't see "lonely project" in Things so I commented out the "lonely project" test in the script (& commented out "trash"); that got me through the whole set of folders.
• It took a couple tries to get my "someday" tasks into a form that would be transferred - I ended up dumping them into "Anytime" to reassign later.
• I hadn't been using task contacts, subtasks, cancellation dates, or tag shortcuts, so those weren't a concern.
• I do use recurrences, so it took a few days to reestablish recurrences and confirm that everything transferred.
  It was very helpful to have the script, as it established the basic project + task structure with all of my notes, dates, etc.
  Thanks!
