Showing parent task only in query

[beerens20]

In my notes I may have a task that has multiple sub-tasks inside of it such as 'create presentation on X' where nested within it I maybe have tasks like research this, create the deck, talk to someone about the topic. When I write my query to populate my dashboard view of 'upcoming tasks', 'past due tasks', 'high priority', etc I just want the parent task to show up and I can drill into it by clicking the link.

Is this possible given the current queries and filters?

Hi @beerens20

What happens if you use:

exclude sub-items

That worked, thank you so much. I figured it was something easy that I was over looking as I skimmed the queries documentation.
