If you have a task-tree that looks something like this:
Notice one task has status in-progress, but the others are to-do
If you then group by status, the in-progress task correctly shows it's path (if in the correct UI mode), giving the user a good chance of understanding what the task relates to.
However, the to-do view of this tree now contains an anomaly.
The child tasks of the in-progress task now show as direct children of the in progress task's parent
Essentially the lineage of the tree in the to-do group section is broken.
This creates confusion as the wording of the bottom level child tasks do not make sense without their parent task.
Possible fixes?
- If a task does not belong in a section, but is required to connect a parent to descendants, display the task even though it does not belong in that group - but make it translucent?
- Show the path hints for the bottom level children, as is shown for other tasks whose lineage is not 100% present?

Hi again,
FYI this issue also happens in the navigation panel in my tasks, the grouping is overdue/upcoming/later, but the issue is the same.

Hi @tomyeh
This issue still happens in the My Tasks section of the navigation panel, as mentioned above back in May.

Hi Jesse, Thank you for letting us know. We shall look into it.

Also to the developers: As a software developer myself, I used to hate it when my users tried to provide a solution, rather than just relaying to me the problem/use case and letting my team solve it.
I realise I am doing that to you now. No offense intended, obviously you are best to decide on a course of action if any 😃
