Filtering on a context that is included in another context does not show all contexts.....

[Grant]

Hi, The title is a bit confusing, but what I mean is

I have created a context that contains three other contexts. (eg X, contains A, B and C)

Now I want to search on all tasks that include one of the other context, so I filter on that single context  (eg B)

The results only show tasks where that context is listed individually (B), and not the instance where its included in that higher level context (X)

I would really like to see them all (B and X)

Is that possible?

I think it works the other way. If, instead of X including A, B, and C, you have A, B, and C each include X, then I think your filter will work the way you desire. I can't remember the details, but I remember setting up all of my includes backwards when I first set up my contexts.

 But, if it doesn't make sense to do it that way, you can set up the filter to show you only tasks that include either B or X, but you'd need a lot of rules. You would have to specifically exclude tasks that have A or C, but not X or B. This is because tasks with only A will match a filter rule that only tests for X, because A in this filter essentially *is* X by virtue of being included.

 I've re-read that three times, and I think it's right, but even though I wrote it, I'm having trouble following it. If somebody who is a better writer than me would like to fix that up, feel free. :-).

Thanks Trevor

Yeah, I have a hard time following your explanation.  Besides, I am not a fan of work-around do to the effort to maintain them.  

I think this is an improvement in design  the MLO team could make such that searching for a certain context would a;so be found when it was contained in a context that includes that other one.

Cheers.
