Thank you!
There is a possibly related bug with the child filter, which I described in
this post: https://groups.google.com/g/mylifeorganized/c/xQeltoO3DcU
and also described 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.
