I’m using Vikunja v1.0.0-rc3 (open source) installed on a local server. A very simple filter such as “assignees = person” works fine when used inside a project to view a subset of that project’s activities.

However, the same filter, when used after clicking the “New Saved Filter” button available while viewing the list of all projects, does not work correctly: it shows many activities assigned to other users.

Is this a bug, or am I missing something? Is there an alternative way to see all activities assigned to a given user across all projects?

Is this different in the latest release or on the demo?

I’ve tried the demo ([https://try.vikunja.io/](https://try.vikunja.io/)) and the problem appears to be the same. The filter “assignees = demo” works correctly when used, for example, in the project “TestJob”: it shows only activities assigned to the user “demo”.

However, it does not work in the saved filter I named “test”: it also shows activities not assigned to any user. Additionally, if I use “assignees = demo and done = false”, it also shows activities marked as completed.

Is there any turnaround, i.e. an alternative way to see all activities assigned to a given user across all projects?

Did you check the “Include tasks without value set” checkbox?

The problem occurs when it is checked and also when it is not checked

If you don’t have the checkbox checked, does it show tasks that don’t have any assignee?
