This may seem silly at first glance since we’re working with an outline but combined with OR/AND it could be useful. Example: #current AND has:children
Interesting, may I know the use case? You’re looking for parent items, specifically?
Also “AND” is implied. If has:children
exists, you can just do “#current has:chidlren”.
Thanks for the response Erica. I have a long outline of projects and each project has tasks. If a tasks don’t have a hard due date, they are either #current, #later, or #done.
My outline looks like:
Project A
#current
#later
Task
Task
#done
Task
Project B
#current
Task
Task
#later
Task
#done
This is quicker than tagging each task and it’s easier to see tasks group togeether under each tag.
When I want to process my current tasks, I search for #current and it gives me all those nodes and tasks under them. However, projects that don’t have current tasks are also displayed and I don’t want them cluttering my display. This is where has children would be useful.
I see, thanks for explaining! That makes sense. We’ll consider adding this search operator!
P.S. To anyone who’s reading: like the OP’s post if you want something like this!
Update: just added “has:children” search operator.
