BUG: Find Tasks using icons

[zajchap]

Hi Dan,

  I was trying to set up a filter using a custom attribute (icon, single selection, defined list).  I set the attribute name & 'equals' & the name of the icon (chosen from the drop down list).  But nothing filters.  Is this a bug, or am I missing something?  I have also tried 'includes', which also doesn't work.

  PS: 'Is set' works.

Thx Johannes, this is in fact a bug.

The fix is to display the proper icon droplist so that you are selecting visually. Likewise I ought to enable 'Icon' searching too using the same device.

This will need to wait until 7.1.B3.

[.dan.g.]

Fixed in 7.1.B2?

The icon issue now works, by being able to select one or more icons.  Thank you.

However there now seems to be an issue with Relative Due date (and other dates)  For example, Put in "Due Date (Relative)  :  'Occurs before (<)'  :  'm'.  TDL doesn't seem to accept a value where 'm' should go.

PS:  I did notice an issue a while back where the relative dates filter didn't work via Find tasks, but never got to post it.  Nothing happened.  Can't test it now.

Because 'm' means 'minutes' and minutes and hours aren't accepted for dates.

I did tighten this up relatively recently which may account for why it 'suddenly' stopped working for you.

BTW, I can't just assume that 'm' actually means 'M' here because both 'd' (weekdays) and 'D' (days) are acceptable and so it would end up horribly inconsistent.

One possibility would be to have a droplist of placeholders so that such issues were more easily identified...

Feedback welcome as always.

yes

Do you mean you can enter a value but then it disappears...?

OK.  I type in 'M'.  It disappears.  I click on the field once - nothing.  I click twice, 'M' appears selected.

The field doesn't accept 'm', as you suggested.  The m/M, d/D thing slipped me by apparently.  I need to look this up again to familiarize myself on the syntax.

Your suggestion of a drop-down is a good one, especially for people first using the function.  Would still then need to understand the definitions and the ability to add the '+1' etc as needed.

If you update manually then this should be fixed.
