Filter Project Tasks by Parent Task Status

[HazelNB]

I'd like to filter my project's tasks by Parent Tasks, so only Incomplete parent tasks and their child tasks are visible. Some projects have 200+ tasks and it's difficult to navigate and slows down the system. Being able to filter out completed parent tasks + their child tasks would be great! Would this be possible? FIltering all completed tasks in my case would not be helpful. Thanks for your help!

Although you could just use:

parent:status=CPL
parent:status_Mod=notin

There is one fatal flaw in the entire concept. If, according to best practice, you have the entire task list under a "Summary" task, parent tasks immediately below that will always be displayed as long as ANY task is not complete. And the same goes for all similar nested parent tasks.

One way to kinda sorta mitigate this is to style all your parent tasks a certain way (I use a light blue background) so parent tasks are easily identifiable even if they are taken out of context and have no viewable children.

TIP: if this solved your problem, I invite you to consider marking it as a Correct Answer to help others who might also find it of use.

The filter above would show completed children. Instead just filter out completed tasks. 

status=CPL
status_Mod=cine

This will show only incomplete tasks including their (also incomplete) parents. 

Tip: Workfront has a built-in Filter "Incomplete Tasks" that shows you what you described: "Incomplete parent tasks and their child tasks."

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?

[HazelNB]

@RandyRoberts That is correct. Only the parent tasks where all child tasks are complete would be filtered out (not visible).
