project view shows ‘2 remaining’ but can’t see them anywhere Thread Tools Search this Thread Display Modes
Here is my issue:

I have 2 folders that on the iphone project view each show ‘2 remaining’. (I use folders as Areas)

Tapping on either of the folders then shows ‘none remaining’ in the single action lists enclosed. If I set the settings to ‘In Projects, show: All’, then all I see is completed items.

Same goes for the desktop. Basically I can not find these uncompleted items anywhere.

I have the feelings I'm missing a setting somewhere. Any ideas of where to start?
 
I now realized something. Maybe this is an intended behavior. Example: the folder has only a single-action list in it, with one action only in that single-action list.

But the projects view (iphone) will say '2 remaining', as though it counts the single-action list itself.

Anyone else notice this?
 
Easy enough to test out this hypothesis, no? Add another single action list, see if the count goes up. Add an action to that single action list, does the count go up again?
 
Thanks, you're right.

So the count DOES go up with just the addition of the single action list. Even before it has anything in it. I'd never noticed that before. Doesn't seem right because an empty single-action list has nothing actionable in it.

I think I'll ask the ninjas.
 
I would agree that the count should go up for projects, but not single action lists, given that the former is actionable and the latter is not.
 
The support ninja said that this IS the expected behavior. Both projects and single-action lists count themselves as actionable, thus counting towards the tally.

So I put in a +1 to have an option to opt out of this behavior.

Also, the response was very quick. Love their support.
