(status:completed or status:incomplete) doesn't work?

Hi,

I'm attempting to show a list of all a project's tasks, regardless if the tasks are completed or not.

I used the following query, but it didn't seem to show what I'd expect:

list:"#WK - Credentials" and (status:completed or status:incomplete)

Doing either of the following queries shows the results that I'd expect:

list:"#WK - Credentials" and status:incomplete
list:"#WK - Credentials" and status:completed

What am I doing wrong?

Status is a special meta info. You can't see both incomplete and complete tasks at the same time in RTM. Instead you toggle between them using the link in the task details box.

Bummer.

What I'm attempting to do is have a printout of all the tasks on a given project list, together with their completion status. (Handy for weekly reviews with the boss.)

What would be the best way to do this?

justdoro,
It would probably be best to use the Print view (or perhaps an Atom feed)—one for incomplete and one for complete—and to combine them in a word processor or text editor for printing.

We appreciate the feedback on what you're trying to do though; thanks for that!

Unfortunately, you won't be able print out complete and incomplete tasks in the same list.

You will need to print them separately. You can quickly get to the completed task from the list from the menu box on the right hand side (when no tasks are checked off).

On the upside your weekly review report will be divided.

You might also find it helpful to make a SmartList which only shows the tasks you completed within the last week:

list:"#WK - Credentials" AND completedWithin:"1 week of today"
