children not shown for all instances in a view

[David Rees]

It seems like enabling children in a hierarchy when a parent is shown multiple times that the children are only shown for one instance of the parent (which is chosen "randomly"). 

I create the following outline:

a        (@1, @2)
 aa

 ab

Then I create a view grouped by category with hierarchy on and the children shown.

I will sometimes get this

@1

  a

    aa

    ab

@2

  a

and sometimes get this

@1

  a

@2

  a

    aa

    ab

Instead I would expect this:

@1

  a

    aa

    ab

@2

  a

    aa

    ab

Or at least expect to be consistent (e.g. always the first instance of the parent).

Thanks,

I think you need to go into the advanced config and select "continue searching in branch after main filter match". when I turn this on, I see tasks under both contexts.

I think that does something different than what I am looking for. It causes children than match the filter to also be included in the view as their own "top-level item".

In my view example above I had the view filtered to @1 and @2 so checking "Continue searching..." actually has no difference.

If instead I had a view that also included (none) Categories then aa and bb would be shown under (none). But I still would only see the children under one instance of their parent (with the particular instance being non-deterministic). So I would get one of these two. 

(none)

  aa

  ab

@1

  a

    aa

    ab

@2

  a

or this:

(none)

  aa

  ab

@1

  a

@2

  a

    aa

    ab

Four years after, glad to find your post as it confirms there is an issue. The same is happening to me, only one instance of the task is showing the child items.

The same view works properly on Android, however, with the child items shown for all instances of the parent.
