Enable to look for persons that do NOT have a particular attribute (eg: looking for people w/o occupation in order to know which ones we need to find that info in eg: their mariage act)

Hey @soig, how is this different using a filter for people that have an attribute, and using the checkbox "Return values that do not match the filter rules"? |
|
@dsblank It's not the same b/c inverting results means that I cannot combine it wither other filters.
This enables me to look for a subset of people and find out who miss that info, and thus who I need to doble check their mariage in order to find their occupation. If I'd use the existing rule "has an attribute", then if I seltected "Return values that do not match the filter rules", it wouldn't work with the other rules "ascendants of X" & "born between Y & Z", it would basically return every people but for those in that very small subset. |

@soig, you can nest custom filters inside other custom filters. So you can make one filter that negates a rule, and then use that filter from others. In isn't convenient (we're working on that) but that is the way Gramps was designed. Otherwise we'd have double the number of filters just to negate them. |
