Hi, I'm confused. The filter that Stéph proposed for you
(ProjectStatus <> "Suspended") does not purport to test the
task status but rather to test the status of the project of which
the task is a part. You appear to be reporting that the filter
inappropriately tested the task status. If this is true, either I
am misinterpreting the command or else there is a bug. After
thinking about it further, I realize that I do not even think that
there is any suspended status for a task versus a standalone
project. So I am confident that Stéph's filter will do what you
are requesting.
My suggestion, if you want to discuss it further, would be for
you to give an example of a small project and a filter and say
what it does versus what you want it to do.

Hello ckle...
You can set up different advanced filters for the parents and
children of an item which matches a filter, using the "Config"
button next to the "ShowHierarchy" parameter. Does that help?
If you can give me an example of an outline structure and how
you want to filter it, I'm sure I could use those features to
help you find a filter configuration which suits your needs.
Hi!
I just wanted to give an update. I was able to add a filter to
the Active Actions view which excluded tasks that were
"Suspended." Sadly, this does not work down the hierarchy. If
I suspend a project, for example, its tasks will still show up
in the Active Actions list.
And it seems there is no way to query a task's parent's
Project Status, so there's no way to suspend all project
tasks without specifying all tasks as Suspended. That is
unwieldy.
Would it be possible to create a folder, say "Backburner"
or "Archive," whose contents could be easily excluded from
the Active Actions view?

Unfortunately, there's
next to no automation or linkage between different task
properties - project status has no effect on task
completion or hidden status.
There have been previous conversations where some
people have wanted to have a live task in a not-started
project, for pre-project work. I'm not one of those
people - but I guess the lack of integration between the
parameters is to give the flexibility to accommodate the
people who do want that behaviour. Luckily, the filters
are also extremely flexible, so you could customise your
view/filter with an Advanced rule to say:
- ProjectStatus <>
"Suspended"
See how you get on with that.

I've suspended a project/folder, but a
task from it is still showing up in active actions.
That's unexpected. How do I fix that? I'm willing to
delete the project or task, but then what's the
point of suspension?
