> Hierarchical views are created in two steps (well, more really but only two that matter to this discussion) First, the main and advanced filters are applied to create a flat list of items that pass the filter at that level. The second step makes it hierarchical: the children and/or parents (per your request) are attached to each of the items that passed step one. The children and/or parents are filtered based **not** on the main and advanced filters but on the child filter and/or parent filter (click the “config” button after the Show Hierarchy filter). Then the resulting trees are merged and your view is ready.
Dwight, did you see Andrei's latest video: https://groups.google.com/g/mylifeorganized/c/0Df7e26Gk5I Apparently this is *not* how it works - the parent filter actually controls whether items pass the main filter based on their parents.
