To expand on @Sven-atClient's reply; while it is true you can't do exactly what you're asking for in a standard report, there are a number of "workarounds" and alternatives. If you want to see all tasks assigned to people on a team you own, you could:
Ask "Are there any other fields you could use in...
Ah! I misunderstood the OP. I thought this was in Workfront, not AEL, Doh!
Still, I've never heard of this happening and would be surprised if this was by design… unless of course we're talking hundreds of messages.
I think you should submit a support ticket for this one. I've never had that happen and I'm often bombarded with messages and replies. I'd be very surprised if this was by design.
To expand on @Rick_MacDuffie's solution, I use this one:
displayname=Active Task
listdelimiter=<hr>
listmethod=nested(tasks).lists
styledef.case.0.comparison.icon=false
styledef.case.0.comparison.leftmethod=ID
styledef.case.0.comparison.lefttext=ID
styledef.case.0.comparison.operator=notblank
styled...
I think there's some disconnect with the way your tasks and form are set up. If you have the form on EVERY task, then EVERY task will have that field. The text mode code will read THAT field on THAT predecessor task and display it, every time. But only if that field is on every single predecessor ta...
If you're in a task report, you can remove the "task" part of
listmethod=nested(task.predecessors).lists
so it reads
listmethod=nested(predecessors).lists
That sample is for an Assignment report
You would need to make a Product A field and a Product B field as radio buttons and hide any other choices. The user could then select the relevant one of them and leave the other alone, if you wanted a single form.
If you wanted 2 forms, you could preselect Product A on one of them and Product B on...
That could work as well in a different way. I think what OP really wants to see is all tasks (any status, parent or child) under an incomplete parent task.
"so only Incomplete parent tasks and their child tasks are visible" @HazelNB is this what you're looking for?
I doubt it but you can set custom forms based on topic. That could solve your problem by having a "Form A" and a "Form B". And you can also set up a form that shows certain fields if the user makes a specific choice on another field if you wanted a single form.
TIP: if this solved your problem, I in...
