When making custom filters or sorting for projects or smart folders, I cannot see all items because while their parent is included in the filter, the children are not. I understand there are use cases for when you might want this, but I would love an option where I can automatically include all descendent items when an item is included in the filter.
For example, let's say that "Cleaning the house" is an item and it has child items of "Take out trash," "Wash dishes," and "Vacuum,". If I mark "Cleaning the house" as high priority, I would love it that a filter for high priority items would also allow me to expand and see the subtasks.
Hi Alan, this is noted. Thanks for your suggestion. 👍

Hi Alan, For this case, you would need to also set the child tasks "Take out trash" "Wash dishes" and "Vacuum" to High Priority as well, in order for them all to appear under “Cleaning the house” after you filter. The faster way would be multiple selecting (press Shift while selecting) all the child tasks and give them priority in one single time. The reason why we don’t default set child tasks to inherit parent task behavior is because we want to leave more options for users. Also, sometimes there would be cases where the children tasks have different priority than parent task. Hope this make sense. 😜

I understand there are cases you don't want to auto-include. However, there are cases you do. An option to change this behavior on the filter/sort configuration even if the default is off would be powerful.
