Hi, Rich. I'm a frequent poster on this forum and I'm an MLO beta tester on Windows and Android. My opinions are my own, I don't speak for the developers.
I try to respond to forum discussions about creating custom views. Your original post is in my queue of things to study when I have time. After a preliminary look, it seemed to me to be impossible to meet your request. I usually don't respond on this basis - I prefer to try and develop a workaround and test my suggestions to ensure that they are correct. But you are in a hurry and I understand that, so I will just say that I cannot find any realistically usable solutions. To address your other question, my personal opinion is that the MLO staff do *not* owe you an answer to this post. You are owed an answer if you experience crashes, or data loss, or inappropriately altered data, or functionality that does not work as documented. But the MLO staff have not promised to develop custom views for any customer who wants one. That kind of support is generally provided through the forum. Lots of people have written to the forum asking for help with their views. Most of them have gotten help. People with easy requests tend to get help faster than people with difficult requests; impossible requests take even longer. >From your question it's obvious that you have a very good understanding of >custom view development. The fact that you would mention "Today + >0.3333333333" shows that you have already worked your way through some of the >complexities in your request. With this much insight into the tech, I'm sure >you see that it would be helpful to construct a narrative version of the >desired filter; something that says, "Include all tasks where [property] is >[condition] [value] and (etc)". You didn't provide such a narrative; instead >you provided four data points that I was unable to transform to a narrative. My inability to create a narrative requirements statement was perhaps the strongest indicator that this request cannot be implemented. Although I could not find a usable solution I got sort of close with two solutions that were clearly unusable. If you are able to create a narrative requirements statement, please let me know.
