The best way (a little complex but works great) is to use advanced setup to change your view "phone" from:
*show everything that includes the context "phone"* to *show everything that includes the context phone or was created in the last 8 seconds* You can code that "created in the last 8 seconds" as createdDateTime is greater than Now-0.0001 which works because there are 86,400 seconds per day s0 0.0001 of a day is 8.64 seconds If you are familiar with advanced setup that should give you everything you need, if not you probably need step by step instructions, in which case write back and I will provide them. Once this change is made, newly created tasks will not vanish immediately, they will hang for about 8 seconds and then vanish. That gives you 8 seconds to change the context. One issue, if you add a non-phone task and then immediately bring up the phone view the new non-phone task will be in your view for the first 8 seconds.
