Include Children setting is only displaying a single Child

My expectation is that the selected note would display three items. What it actually does is display one item and includes contents for that note.

Is there an extra step, or a setting needed to get a display of all top-level children?

Let me look into this. Thanks for reporting!

I just ran through some testing, and the feature seems to me to be working [as documented](Include Children ).

Here is the test collection I was using to test.

Include Children.zip (8.5 KB)

But now that I’ve done that, I’m looking at the screenshot you sent in more detail, and I think I see the problem.

The only children that will be included are direct children of the parent. Later generations, if you will (grandchildren, etc.) will not be included. You would need to navigate to the child to see its children.

This may not be the way you’d like it to work, but it was the way it was intended to work.

I’m open to additional thoughts and suggestions, though.

That is exactly what I want to occur. I’m expecting the initial note to display the three children (and that is why I included a screen shot to show that the outline view sees three direct children of the initial note)

1.1 title
1.2 title
1.3 title

Your example works perfectly. I’ve modified Seq in my notes, and changed the format from OL to UL (just in case these differences triggered an exception) but there is no change. There were a few options in the collection settings that I removed (just in case) but these changes made no difference.

I’m popping my collection in here, if it helps. There is nothing but a few note titles acting as stubs, so the data can be public.

Maybe we are meaning different things when we use the phrase “direct children.”

When I use the term, I mean notes that have the parent as their immediate parent.

In the following situation…

Emergency Management
    1. Emergency Management on Desktop
        1.1 User Interface: Desktop
           1.1.1 Single View of Combined History...
  • “1. Emergency Management on Desktop” is the direct child of “Emergency Management”
  • “1.1 User Interface: Desktop” is the direct child of “1.Emergency Management on Desktop”
  • “1.1.1 Single View of Combined History…” is the direct child of “1.1 User Interface: Desktop”

Now if all three were numbered consecutively and had the same level, then they would all be direct children of the same parent.

But because they have increasing levels, and continue adding segments to their Seq values, they end up being direct children of each other.

I hope this makes sense.

Sorry it is not working as you expected…

I’m sure we are agreeing on what direct parent means. In this image I’ve got pink arrows pointing at direct children of the initial note. The rest are descendants, not direct children.

OK. Sorry. I was misunderstanding. I see now. Let me look into it tomorrow.

There was indeed a bug there.

See the latest beta and let me know if this fixes things for you.
