View Column showing parent tasks only as list

On a Report View Column I only want to show the parent task name and not every single subtask how do I write that?
listmethod=nested(tasks,indent).lists. (WRONG)

 

displayname=Project Tasks Names
listdelimiter=<p>
listmethod=nested(tasks).lists.  (WORKS FINE)
textmode=true
type=iterate
valuefield=name
valueformat=HTML

You need to replace valuefield with a valueexpression that will only list parent tasks.

displayname=Parent Tasks listdelimiter=<div> listmethod=nested(tasks).lists textmode=true type=iterate valueexpression=IF({numberOfChildren}>0,{name},"") valueformat=HTML

    Thank you,  that somewhat worked BUT if I have a project that has 3 tasks & 2 without any subtasks then it returns null fro 5 &6?
    (5 & 6) are Parent Tasks without any subtasks

    If you want to list parent tasks as well as tasks without children, this will work:

    displayname=Parent Tasks listdelimiter=<div> listmethod=nested(tasks).lists textmode=true type=iterate valueexpression=IF(ISBLANK({parentID}),{name},"") valueformat=HTML
