Pre-submission checklist

  • I have searched for existing open or closed issue reports with the same problem.

Description

There is one closed report, which does not resolve this problem: #2494

Custom filters do not show subtasks, if their criteria matches, but the parents criteria does not match.

Expected behavior

All tasks which match the filter criteria of a smart filter are displayed. All tasks which do not match, are not displayed. Regardless of any relations.

Replication

  1. Add a filter "DO NOW!!!" with the criteria: done = false && priority = 5
  2. Create a "Parent task" with priority medium
  3. Create a task "Subtask" with priority "Do now"
  4. Add the relation to make it a subtask
  5. Check the "DO NOW!!!" filter --> No tasks will be displayed and therefore this urgent task gets overlooked

Thank you very much!
