I have collection Work Package which has a one-to-many relation to a Task collection. Tasks can exist without a Work Package.

I need a gantt view where all Work Packages and their related Tasks as a sub-level appear with their dates. In addition also Tasks without a Work Package should be shown with thier dates.

Trial 1:  
database is Work Package and sub-level Task → Tasks without Work Package do not show

Trial 2:  
database is Task and they are grouped by Work Package → all Tasks appear, but no dates for Work Package (see screenshot)

How can I accomplish this ?

Thanks !

In genera Trial 1 is a way to go. I wonder why Tasks are not visible in such setup for you. For example, here Tasks without Project are visible

Hmm, ok.

My view is configured in the same way I think:

But here, the Tasks without a Work Package dont show up. I’m using Fibery Desktop Mac App 2.8.4. It’s the same in Firefox.

One question: is this view created in some entity or in some Smart Folder? Or just inside Space? Could you share Filters menu?

It is created inside a smart folder, see smart folder filter and gantt view filter below:

This is the cause, it shows WP and Tasks from this Cheminova (Project, I assume). If you need you see other WP and tasks you have two options: Switch off the filter above (switcher on Yellow area) or create a view outside Smart Folder

All Tasks are from the Cheminova project, they just dont have a Work Package relation. They show up in the same smart folder in a gantt view, when I select Tasks as database and group by Work Package (screenshot in first post). See example Task here:

In the Trial 1 the context filter will be only applied to the root level (Work Package in your case). Then we only display tasks related to the Work Packages, we don’t rely on the Project field here at all.

In the Trial 2, Tasks are considered as a root level, so it works. But there are no dates for the grouping level, indeed. This seems to me to be an incomplete feature.

Ok, thank you, but why do the issues appear in mdubakovs screenshot?

It seems that we both use the same configuration?

You don’t have the same configuration. Yours is a context view, and Michael’s isn’t.  
Context filters apply to only one level in the view, which is what Ihar was explaining  
(but there can be [multiple choices for the context filter ‘path’](https://the.fibery.io/@public/User_Guide/Guide/Context-Views-20/anchor=Context-filters--0935e1fb-7c38-4566-81b1-101d4a1ed284)).

Thank you for the clarification.

What confuses me is, even if I disable the context filter I dont see the Tasks without a Work Package when the view is inside a Smart Folder.

The same configuration outside a Smart Folder shows what I need.

I can reproduce this in a blank workspace. Tasks without work packages appear in a normal folder but not in a smart folder. Seems to be a bug.

Normal View

Same View in a Smart Folder of the Project

Have you checked what context filter is applied for the smart folder view?

@Chr1sG @mdubakov any ideas why this is happening? This unfortunately makes it impossible to use smart folders in these usecases.
