How Can I Apply Both A Filter and Highlight in a View
- JBLT83 --
Yes, you are correct that you can only apply one filter at a time. And you are correct that you would need to either edit the Slipping Tasks filter to eliminate completed tasks, or you would need to create a new filter for this purpose. Hope this helps.
JBLT-77 Your query has already been answered perfectly, but let me add this method as an alternative to consider if you are familiar with the custom field formulas. You can both highlight tasks and mark them with indicators at the same time. In order to do this, you can write formulas testing the same conditions as the filters and define indicators for them. See an example below:
In the demo picture above, the formula in the task custom flag field named STARTING SOON tests the same condition as the highlight filter Tasks Starting Soon.
ismet_kocaman well what I’m actually trying to do is based on a filtered view I already have set such as Incomplete Tasks filter, I want to highlight among those tasks that meet certain conditions, for example tasks behind schedule, etc. Project should allow both highlights and filters to be applied. I’ve submitted this requirement as feedback but who knows if it will ever get implemented.

Pls consider the fact that certain tasks that should be highlighted may have already been hidden (that is, filtered out) by the regular filter in some scenarios. As it has already been suggested, the best solution seems to combine the filtering conditions in a single filter.
