    functions for custom properties

    Hi,

    Organising a budget on mindmanager works pretty well except there are no functions for the custom types ...

    Say each budget item has an "estimate" and a "cost" custom property (type currency), then if parent items could have a function property that totals the estimates and costs of it's children all the categories and subcategories in the budget map would have automatically populated values, which would be really useful.

    Adding more general functions means you can start creating tree-like spreadsheets too.

    Precisely!

    I am donig something like this with RTC but I have ran into a wall. I cannot automatically update the custom property data of the parents. I have to manually open each to force the update. Or use the RTC Apply button on each. Again manual <blah>Other than this annoyance it is a very cool aplication. Is there an automatic way to do this?  Is there a way to make it updated on change like a spreadsheet?

    It is hard to believe this was left out.
