the problem:

sometimes, as time goes by, an action gets unnecessary. the currently available actions in such a situation are quite unhandy:br
- delete: the action was planned for some reason and it needed some time to process. but when the action is deleted, this effort gets lost in the weekly review and on the statistics page. additionally you could simply forget why the action became unnecessary, since you can't just add a note in the description field.br
- mark action as completed: though you can add a note why you dropped the action, but it will be wrongly treated as "completed".

the idea:br
therefore i propose a special state (e.g. action dropped) to move the action off the list of active actions, without deleting it (maybe moving it to a separate section at the bottom of the list. like for "Completed Actions").br
So the "dropped" tasks could also be reviewed (just by re-reading them, or even with special statistics).

work-around:br
currently I use a tag "dropped" when closing a wrongly created action. but since it's logically wrong and lacks of reviewability, I hope to see it in a future version of Tracks.
