Active by context not using included contexts

[Marcia J]

Active by context show a task under its various contexts, but not under its included contexts.

For example, if context B includes context A and I assign B to a task, the task will show under task B. I was assuming it would also show under context A since A is included with B, but that isn't happening. 

Is there some trick to make that happen or is that not a thing?

I am struggling with the same thing. I followed the directions found at https://blog.mylifeorganized.net/2019/05/using-included-contexts.html but the behavior is not as expected. 

I live between 2 different Walmart locations. I want the location based context reminders to go off for any Walmart tasks,  no matter which location I end up at. Since I can't have two locations for one context, I have created two contexts, @WalmartThisPlace & @WalmartThatPlace and set up the location notifications. Then I created @Walmart and selected it as an included context for both of those locations. When I switch to "Active by context" view on Android, tasks with the assigned context of @Walmart do not appear under either the @WalmartThisPlace & @WalmartThatPlace contexts. 

So then I thought maybe I've mixed up my understanding and have it backwards? So I reversed things, choosing @WalmartThisPlace as an included context of @Walmart, but that also didn't do anything. When I look at @Walmart in "Active by Context" view, none of the tasks with context @WalmartThatPlace appear under @Walmart.

Is this a problem with the "Active by Context" or our understanding of how it works?

Warning: advice from amateur follows!

I have no idea if this will work but I suspect that a wildcard might work for you. In place of @Walmart try @Walmart*. If I am lucky this will work for you.

If the above doesn't work, try INCLUDE @Walmart.

If neither of these work, transport yourself back in time to before 2008 and use Wal-Mart. Just kidding on this one -- here's info from Wikipedia: On June 30, 2008, Wal-Mart removed the hyphen from its logo and replaced the star with a Spark symbol. The store branding became "Walmart", with the corporate name remaining with the hyphen as "Wal-Mart".

Hope this works for you...
