Did you uncheck the "Include tasks which have no value set" checkbox below the filter query?
@winkelement commented on GitHub (Feb 12, 2026):
I did not, thank you for the hint!
Now it's almost working: There still seems to be a bug which only affects the list view of the project. Subtasks not assigned to me are shown as well when the parent task is assigned to me, yet subtasks assigned to me with parent tasks not assigned to me are not shown. This only happens in the list view. Table and kanban views work correctly.
List View: "Subtask 01" should not show, "Subtask 02" is missing" 🔴Table View: "Subtask 01" not showing, "Subtask 02" shows up 🟢@kolaente commented on GitHub (Feb 19, 2026):
That's by design. We had users complain about not being able to see their subtasks in list view.
@winkelement commented on GitHub (Feb 20, 2026):
Ok...
I'll be honest i am a bit confused: this means the behavior of every view (list, table, kanban) in regards to how filters are applied is different? Is there any logic to this? How can i as a user know which filter logic is applied to which view? I wasn't able to find anything in the docs.
I would still consider this a bug (filter is not applied to subtask in list view, see screenshot).
@kolaente commented on GitHub (Feb 20, 2026):
This is not about filtering, it's about the display logic of the views. You'll notice that the list view shows the sub tasks as well when no filter is applied.
@winkelement commented on GitHub (Feb 20, 2026):
Ok i think i understand: it is more about the visual representation, in list view subtasks are just always displayed. So that means any filter logic in list view is only applied to parent tasks, right?
@kolaente commented on GitHub (Feb 20, 2026):
Yeah, exactly.
