I’m experimenting with Context groups. I created a context @Follow-Up and set it up to contain contexts @Waiting and @Delegating. If I create a view and filter it to include tasks where Context contains @Follow-Up, they show up just fine. If I set a view to filter tasks where Context does not contain @Follow-up, they show up there too. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks,

Mark

It cannot be done with 'does not contain' rule indeed since it works with sub-contexts only. To filter out tasks by a parent context you need to use the sub-rule 'contains'. Here are the steps:

1. Edit views->Add view->Select the group of tasks for the view->Next
2. Advanced filter-> Add condition group ->All conditions, inverse-> save
3. Add condition (sub-level)->Field: context, Condition: contains, Value: Follow-up->Save

This should work.
