Hello,
First of all, thank you for org-mode. Without it, I literally would find it much more difficult to do my job.
I am having a problem with group tags. I reproduced it using the latest org-mode from the org package archive, 20181022. The minimal example is this: say I have a group tag that looks like this:
(setq org-tag-alist
'((:startgrouptag)
("parentTag")
(:grouptags)
("childTag1")
("childTag2")
(:endgrouptag)))
with a org-todo-keywords like so:
(setq org-todo-keywords '((type "TODO" "NEXT" "|" "DONE" "CANCELLED")))
And then an org file that looks like this:
* Parent heading 1 :childTag1:
** NEXT child 1 of parent 1
** TODO child 2 of parent 1
* Parent heading 2
** NEXT child 1 of parent 2
** TODO child 2 of parent 2
Then when I hit C-c a M, I use this match string:
parentTag&TODO="NEXT"|-parentTag&TODO="TODO"
I would expect the resulting agenda to have exactly two items: "child 1 of parent 1", and "child 2 of parent 2". However, I get three items: "child 1 of parent 1", "child 2 of parent 1", and "child 2 of parent 2". I don't understand why "child 2 of parent 1" is in there.
This only arises when using the "|" operator. That is, if I do an agenda with just
parentTag&TODO="NEXT"
then I get just "child 1 of parent 1", as expected. If I do an agenda with
-parentTag&TODO="TODO"
then I get just "child 2 of parent 2", as expected. But when I combine them with "|", I get three items.
I also did some other tests showing that at least for me this problem arises only with group tags. In particular, here if I do
childTag1&TODO="NEXT"|-childTag1&TODO="TODO"
I get just the two items I would expect.
Is there a bug here? Or am I doing something wrong? Thanks. --Omari
