Scripts reference tasks, and the graphical user-interface of OmniFocus references actions. In other words: a “task” is a something that needs doing, and “action” is the element in the OmniFocus interface that represents that need or to-do item. The Omni Automation support in OmniFocus considers the terms “action” and “task” to be functionally synonymous, and refers to the scriptable element representing an “action” as a “task.” However, in the OmniPlan application, such a time-related element is called a “ Task.” When interacting with the OmniFocus application’s user-interface (UI for short), you will encounter the term “Action” which refers to a new to-do item for a project.
