Huh! I didn't know you could do THAT with a textmode filter...

[Doug_Den_Hoed__AtAppStore]

Just figured out an advanced text mode filter that is too intriguing to not share, where I learned:

• you can use % wildcards (because it's Oracle, I suspect) for partial search strings...ok, I knew this one, but had forgotten it
• you can use an EXISTS or NOTEXISTS on the same object (a Task in this case) to examine the state of custom data on a "peer" (in this case, a different "checklist" Task with a custom form on it that is supposed to have its DE:DATE COMPLETE filled in prior to the Task in question -- namely something similar to "%Package%%ship%" -- but fails to meet that criteria
• you can combine OR statements with EXISTS and NOTEXISTS (in this case, to examine two such checklist Tasks, with slightly different names)

See below for the gory details, if yee dare.

BUT WAIT! There’s more!

For each “needs investigation” Task row, this is the textmode that will then reach up from the Task to enumerate all of its Project’s Tasks and then bring back the checklist Task(s) into their own (single) column, revealing the source(s) of the OR EXISTS infraction.

Old dog. New tricks.
