Hi, Julie(?)
Re the third example, I do not have time to reproduce and explore
this right now. Maybe one of the other users will, or maybe
Support will explain it to us.
For the other two examples, my comment is that if you replaced
"hierarchy on with parent and child off" with "hierarchy off" it
looks to me as though you would get the desired results. Could you
enhance your example to show what you expect from "hierarchy on
with parent and child off" that's different from "hierarchy off"?

Thanks! Here's the email I sent to support. I'll probably
make yet another post for it, asking people if they can
reproduce it and if they agree it's a bug.

I love MLO, but I am having trouble because there are several
bugs with the hierarchy displays, which makes it hard for me to
use the full power of the software.
The following example shows the bugs clearly:
red top (text tag: x)
red middle
red bottom
blue top (text tag: z)
blue middle (text tag: xy)
blue bottom
green top (text tag: z)
green middle
green bottom (text tag: xy)
1. With advanced filter for text tag x, hierarchy on, parent
and child off:
What you should get:
red top
blue middle
green bottom
What you do get:
red top
2. With advanced filter for text tag y, hierarchy on, parent
and child off:
What you should get:
blue middle
green bottom
What you do get: nothing
3. With advanced filter for text tag y, hierarchy on, parent
on, child off, parent filter "text tag does not contain z"
What you should get:
blue middle
green middle
green bottom
What you do get:
green middle
green bottom
Thank you so much! I really hope this can be fixed soon
because the program is amazing and it would be just what I
needed with this bug fixed

Hi, Julie (Sorry if you are not Julie, you didn't sign
your post and that's the closest I could find to a name)
You have submitted four posts talking about an issue with
a filtered hierarchy. It's clear that you are trying to
accomplish something that you consider simple and that you
are extraordinarily frustrated about the difficulties you
have encountered. I'm pretty good at this and I can not
quite figure out what went wrong, or what you are trying
to do. Your emails have some discussions of your own
issue, some quotes from old emails I have sent to several
other people and my examples, and some of the problem
statements from the other users I was writing to. Put it
all together and it's too confusing for me to figure out.
Maybe a different reader gets it, but if not I will try to
work it through with you if you like.
First, let me try and guess what your actual issue is. My
guess is:
When you have a filtered list of tasks and also have
"include parents" turned on, that a task that passes
the main filter but that does not have any parent is
not included.
If this is the issue, let me know and I will help you
report it. If fixing this would not be enough to fix your
problem, then please write a new email that demonstrates
the problem. Leave out all the references to previous
conversations and theories about the cause, just provide
these four things:
- A small hierarchy, as simple as you can make it but
still sufficient to show the problem. If task properties
that play a role are not visible (context, deadline,
goal, etc) include them in your message
- A description of a view/filter that illustrates the
issue. The view should be as simple as possible. Please
describe ALL filters and specifications that you are
setting in the view
- A sample of the listing you want to get
- A sample of the listing that you actually get
OK?
-Dwight
I am struggling with this bug as well and hope that
we can get this fixed. Parent and child filters should
work in a clear, consistent way, not sometimes randomly
decide to exclude tasks that pass the main filters.
Happy to help report this.

Hi, Kjell.
This goes back quite a while and I may not be
recalling it 100% correctly but I will do my best.
I believe that when you have a filtered list of
tasks and also have "include parents" turned on,
that a task that passes the main filter but that
does not have any parent is not included. I seem to
recall one person a couple of years ago who reported
this. I believe that there was some discussion, the
final outcome of which was that this was by design
and that the user should create a parent for the
task in question.
Would this response help you? If not, we could work
together to report this as a bug to the developers,
and see if the result is any different this time
around - maybe they would fix it. Let me know if you
want to take this forward.

Hi,
I have a predefined structure in
MLO (see screenshot 1), but when in
the todo view, I set "Show Hierarchy"
to yes and set a parent filter (screen
shot 2), the folders are no longer
shown but neither is the root task
(screen shot 3). The other structures,
like goals are shown
Can someone help me
Thx
