Filtering subtasks

[scott.siegler]

Hello,

Is it possible to create a filter, that will filter a summary task and
all summary and non-summary tasks under the parent summary task?

I would like to somehow describe a summary task when creating the
filter, and then see it, and everything indented under it.

A quick and dirty solution would be creating a filter for the id between
your super parent's id and the next sibling. But you would have to know two
pieces of information: The id of the starting task (easy) and the id of the
next sibling (calculable via a not-so-simple macro, that could use the
outilne level to decide).

Scott,
How about an easier approach. Use a spare Flag field to identify the
tasks you want to show in the filter and then simply filter on the flag.

Hope this helps.

John,

Thanks. This worked great. I have one more issue with this. I
created a new view to only show a certain number of fields. When I
apply this filter to that view, I can see the parent summary tasks, but
everything is inline. Is it possible to somehow keep the indenting of
the subtasks when it does the filter?

thanks,
Scott
