DT3 shuffles script rule arbitrarily

[Knappe]

DT3 version 3.9.8 pro-edition

rules BEFORE safed:

rules AFTER safed:

This means it is never possible to create nested rules.
Am I doing something wrong or is this a special feature ?

Why are you trying to create sub-sub-sub-sub-criteria like this?

Not all criteria are predicates of others.

[Knappe]

because I must collect different documents out of different groups which are different tagged (which is intended for logical reason).

This means it is never possible to create nested rules.

The order of the Any/All conditions at the same level actually doesn’t matter and therefore the conditions on both screenshots are technically identical. What exactly do you want to achieve but doesn’t work as expected?

 (IF (group = NK_2024) AND
>       tag = Rechnung AND
>       tag = NK_Abrechnung AND
>       tag = Heizung)

The Tag conditions and the Name conditions have to be at the same level:

[Knappe]

sorry, didn’t work:

Group = Gas and NK_2024 exists.
in Group Gas: several documents with tags “2024” + “Rechnung” existis (in subfolder of Gas)
in Group NK_2024: serveral images with tags “2024” + “Heizung” exists.

What’s wrong ?

Function “Matches” → “enthält” (in German). Script in this case never find an matching group name !
Only “equal” → “ist” works.

@Knappe

What’s wrong ?

The smart rule‘s conditions match items that have both the desired name and tags. But according to your description only groups match the name whereas documents match the tags and therefore no item matches all conditions.

One possibility might be to disable the exclusion of groups from tagging (see File > Database Properties). Afterwards you could replace e,g. Name is Gas with a Tag is Gas condition to find the documents having the desired tags in the group Gas

[Knappe]

tagging groups is not my favorite.
But I found a solution for myself by deleting the group comparison and partially adjusting the tags of the individual documents.

I think it’s a good idear to think about expanding DT’s command set to include “or” conditions and to correct the not working “match” at least in German.

The Any setting is actually OR. What exactly does not work when using matches?

[Knappe]

checked it again: the problem with “matches” came from the (combination of the) queries, not from the keyword. Solved.
