Understanding org-agenda-todo-list-sublevels

Understanding org-agenda-todo-list-sublevels

[lbmlist]

If I have something like:

(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
 	  '(("Q"  "Q-Who" todo "IMPLEMENT" ((org-agenda-todo-list-sublevels t)))
))

in my .emacs

and I have


*** IMPLEMENT explore slash type [1/3]
  - [X] Explore checkbox list
  - [ ] Look at the export
  - [ ] And so on


*** IMPLEMENT explore percent type [33%]
**** IMPLEMENT the exploration
**** FINISHED an early step
**** PLAN a third subtask


does (org-agenda-todo-list-sublevels t) mean I should see the subtasks in 
the custom view? This doesn't seem to work for me.

I get

  Coding:     IMPLEMENT explore slash type [1/3]


  Coding:     IMPLEMENT  explore percent type [33%]
  Coding:     IMPLEMENT the exploration

alternatively,

how should I set up my custom view to see the subtasks?


Thanks for any assistance,

Louis

Hi Louis,

I think we need more information.  In a todo agenda view you should see
the tasks and any subtasks that are not in a done state.
Your view already shows 

>  Coding:     IMPLEMENT  explore percent type [33%]
>  Coding:     IMPLEMENT the exploration

which is the task and one of the subtasks.  If FINISHED is a done state
you won't get that in the view.  I think PLAN should also be listed (if
it is a todo state and not a done state)

How are your todo keywords defined?

Regards,
Bernt

(setq org-todo-keywords (quote (
(sequence "TODO" "|" "DONE")
(sequence "SCHEDULE" "INPROCESS" "|" "COMPLETED")
(sequence "IMAGINE" "PLAN" "IMPLEMENT" "HOLD" "|" "FINISHED" "ABANDONED")
)))


(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
   '(("Y"  "Q-Who" todo "IMPLEMENT" ((org-agenda-todo-list-sublevels t)))
))

it occurs to me that the `todo "IMPLEMENT"` match hides the PLAN and the 
"FINISHED" is out of the view by default so that it is actually 
functioning as designed WRT the

*** IMPLEMENT  explore percent type [33%]

todo.
