I have a O2M relationship between “Projects” and “Tasks”, so that when viewing a Project item, you see a list of Tasks related to it. However I can’t seem to find a way of preventing Archived items showing up in that O2M list.
I thought I could do it by going into the settings for the field and adding a condition with a filter under Interface Options for tasks where the status does not equal “Archived” but that doesn’t seem to work.
Any suggestions?
Hi there!
You should be able to accomplish this using the filter under interface options.
For example, for a pages collection with a O2M posts field, this only shows published posts:
Hope this is helpful!
I had this problem as well and didn’t find a solution to it.
The solution would either be, to make the filter work for the display items, and / or to add an parameter to the interface to enable the archive filter (if one exists).
Additionally, I think, the archive button should then be shown as well next to the remove button per item.
In reply to @rijkvanzanten ‘s comment above…
Personally, I think the default should be that Archived items are always hidden when in O2M lists, but I believe you’re telling me that’s not the case..?
Anyway, if that’s true, fair enough … but as far as I can see, there doesn’t seem to be a way to filter items shown in a O2M list at all, regardless of whether you want to filter on the status or some other field.
The filter setting shown above in @carmenh ‘s reply only enables you to apply a filter when selecting existing Tasks to add to the list. I don’t want to allow the user to add an existing Task to a Project at all, I only want to allow them to create new ones, so I have the Selecting Items → Enable Select Button checkbox unticked, which has the effect of removing the Filter option from the Interface pane altogether.
Thus I have no way of filtering what appears in the list of Tasks shown on the Project page.
And even if you DO allow the user to add existing Tasks, there’s still no way of filtering what actually shows in the list. You can filter out Archived Tasks at the point where they select one, but if a Task that is already added to the Project gets Archived later, it will still remain visible in the list on the Project item page.
There doesn’t seem to be a way of filtering what APPEARS in the list of Tasks on the Project item page.
