OK, got it. So, you don't want to see "active" tasks which are due in the next 7 days, but any tasks which have started or will start (ie will *become *active) within the next 7 days. That's going to need a different filter.
I'm struggling to be able to produce that filter, using the Advanced filter options. Selecting "Active" tasks only doesn't work, because that only shows tasks which have already started (start date is now or in the past). Ideally, we need to select the filter for "All" tasks but then apply all seven of the filters listed for active tasks in the help manual (via the Contents list, under Basic concepts.. -> Views -> Task Filtering), except that we need to change criterium 3 to "the Start Date for the task is not set or Start Date is <= Today+7". However, there are no Advanced filter criteria available to fully duplicate rules 2, 5 and 6 for all of its parents. So, we could create a filter on All tasks which comes close, but it would still show tasks in branches with a completed grandparent task, a grandparent set for "hide in to-do", or a grandparent requiring subtasks to be completed in order. You might get something useable if you create an outline view filter (instead of a to-do list view filter) which just filters out anything which has no subtasks AND has a start date >= Today+7 Regards, Stéphane On Sunday, 16 June 2019 21:04:15 UTC+1, James Woods wrote: > Now , that's EXACTLY how it wish it to behave. > > ------ Original Message ------ > From: "Jeff Smith" <[email protected] <javascript:>> > To: [email protected] <javascript:> > Sent: 6/15/2019 9:54:00 PM > Subject: Re: [MLO] Re: Tasks with start date in range not showing > > It sounds like James is talking about a whole different issue where the > task that has started in the next 7 days does not show up at all in the > 7day view.
