How/when are tasks triggered, enabled and executed? [message #1775341]

When I do "Help > Perform Setup Tasks..." (i.e. manual), I see a list of tasks to perform, which includes the "Manual Tasks" but doesn't include all of the tasks in my setup. When I select "Show all triggered tasks" I see the full list, but most are greyed out and if I select any of those greyed out tasks, they do not get executed, even if in the source setup model the task includes "MANUAL" in its list of Triggers (and it has Disabled==false). For example, in the simple model attached, the Working Sets task is one of those. If I explicitly selected, it does not get executed, even if the setup model is updated, or I restart. So why are those greyed out? When do they get enabled and executed? And how can I execute one of those tasks?

Thanks

Each task as a hand-written isNeeded method that ensures, as the name suggests, that the task is only performed only if it is needed. If there is some issue with the working sets task not performing, you can use Window -> Preferences -> Oomph -> Dynamic Working Sets... and use Edit... to delete all the children of the root, save that, and then the task should perform. Generally is the isNeeded test for the working sets checks whether all the working sets in this preference are structurally equal to the ones in the task to be performed, so if you change the structure/definition in the task, those changes should be needed...

Thanks! It turns out that I had a bug in my model, namely the Name predicate for a working set. But it's good to know about editing the Dynamic Working Sets on the Oomph Preferences page to trigger the task.
