Highlighting tasks with specific Category and grouping by Category

[bobrics]

Hi,

I am having troubles highlighting tasks that contain a specific
Category in Tasks view that groups tasks by Category, for tasks that
have multiple categories.

HERE IS THE IDEA:
I am organizing my tasks by category. Tasks can have multiple
categories. I separate them by @Context type tags and Project type
tasks, such that my task can have Category="@Work, ProjectX".

In the view view window I sort tasks by category. So, tags that have >
1, will appear in multiple categories. Each project will have a number
of tasks, but only a few will have @ type of context category. That's
how I know what to do next from each project.

HERE IS THE PROBLEM:
When looking at specific project I would like to highlight tasks that
have @Context category in addition to project categories, but having
troubles. In Customize Current View...->Automatic Formatting I created
a condition that would change the font color for tasks that have my
context categories (I listed the categories in Condition->More Choices
tab).

As a RESULT I am getting is not what I expect:
In the task view window, all my Category="@Category, ProjectX" tasks
are now highlighted under @Category group, but not under ProjectX
group. Any ideas how to fix it?

Thanks,
Victor

If you group by categories, the @-items are separetely shown. Why do you
additionally want to color them?

On the other hand, you can quickly remove the grouping by dragging the group
name, for instance on to the column headers. Then the item with the multiple
categories will be colored as you want it.
