I have worked the whole day with Tags on my database and have managed to mess it up :-(. I think that I may need to go back to an old backup (I assume that I would just rename SNBKM to SNDB?)

Part of it the corruption may be because of my incomplete understanding. Please answer my questions, even if they are Trivial and explained in the manual..
Consider this simple example of Tag hierarchy
MainGrid
    LastGrid
    StatusGrid
             DoNow
             Done    

The MainGrid, LastGrid and StatusGrid Tags are sources for Grids with the same name.
I have had inheritance set to "All" for all Tags.

For which Tags do I set Inheritance to "0" to accomplish this:
1. Checking DoNow and Done would put a check-mark on StatusGrid ONLY.
2. Checking LastGrid would not put a check-mark anywhere else.

I have tried to experiment, but as soon as I set inheritance to "0" for any Tag it is set to "0" for ALL Tags above and also for ALL other Tags in the Tag Pane. Is this how it is supposed to work?

If so, I have setup my whole Tag hierarchy incorrectly (I thought that I could set the inheritance levels on a per Tag basis ??)

Comments

Next issue, that I don't understand, is why the items that have LastGrid checked (only!) show up in the MainGrid Grid?
The source is MainGrid and there is only one item with the MainGrid Tag. However, all the items with only the LastGrid Tag also shows there!?

How can I force it to only show items that match the source?

If you add too many topics to one thread, usually some get lost along the way. (If the topics are related, please number them to make it easier for us and you -- thanks.)

I answered your "restore backup" question above in your earlier thread on that topic. (Answer is Yes.)

Subitems normally show in a grid. You could just collapse all items, or see 1. Grid Display Modes for info about display: flat view/source items.

You've read 3. Tags ? In particular the section about cats and dogs, mammals and pets ?

AFAICT, this explains quite well what inheritance is, and how it works. Comments welcomed if it is not clear (after careful reading !)

Thanks for fixing the Grid Tag inheritance  bug!
It solved my question about "MainGrid Grid shows items that doesn't have the MainGrid Tag"

I still have a question about using Inheritance as described in the manual :
"Using Inheritance
With Inheritance, the search can show items that have not explicitly been tagged with the selected tag, but with a sub tag, sub-sub tag and so on."

I am not clear on how to search for items with Tags that have not explicitly been tagged with the selected tag.
No need to spend time discussing here. I will ask at our next coffee shop.

How do I ?
