Thank you again for your quick response! It doesn't look like the video got attached to your post.
The text from the guide "you can also set additional filter for these parent/child tasks" doesn't explain how that additional filter works. As I understand, the parent filter filters the tasks, not the parents, and includes only those tasks that have some direct ancestor meeting the condition listed in the parent filter. But the child filter seems to work differently - it filters the children, not the tasks, and doesn't seem to work consistently. See my post https://groups.google.com/g/mylifeorganized/c/xQeltoO3DcU titled "Bug in the child filter," or see what I wrote above: When I try using the same hierarchy with include child on, and a child filter for "isProject is true," I still get the full hierarchy: Folder Processed Project new2 Project new Task x "new" should be hidden, because it doesn't meet the condition. Its child is not a project. And everything is highlighted. And if I try the same thing, with include child on, and a child filter for "isProject is false," I still get the full hierarchy: Folder Processed Project new2 Project new Task x But Folder Processed should be hidden. It doesn't meet the condition. Its children are projects. Please help me understand how the child filters work!
