AMS_67 2 Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 I tried searching for this question but there were too many results for "tags & links". Here's my situation... I have some notes organized by priority level with different tags (e.g. #P1,#P2, #P3). These are my top level notes which have links within them to other notes, which are not tagged. I have these tags showing in my toolbar shortcut. So when I select my #P1 tagged notebooks, open up one of these top-level notebooks, then select a linked note; Evernote applies the #P1 tag filter automatically and since the linked note is not tagged it is not being displayed. I don't remember having this problem before. I just upgraded to Evernote 6.21.2.8716 (308716) Public (CE Build ce-62.5.9981) so maybe something was changed in this update? Thanks for any feedback...

Personally, I would have the tag assigned to all my Priority 1 notes Link to comment

This is an issue I didn't have before and pretty sure it started after updating to this latest version of EN. This problem is only occurring in the preview panes (which is where I primarily work), since I don't double-click my notes to open them. Hope this makes more sense. Link to comment

So I suppose I should just tag the linked-notes as #P1 as well since they do all fall within that category. Perhaps this was a subtle change that happened in one of the latest updates.

Don Dz 165 Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 I think what you are saying is that if you are looking at a list of notes tagged with #P1, and one of them has a link to a note that doesn't have that tag, the link is not followed, in other words, the filter should be disabled and just show all notes in the note list when following the link normally to the untagged note, instead it kinda bounces back, correct? If so, I noticed the same issue, it is recent, I reported it in the 6.21 beta, got no comments so far. It is simply not expected behavior, as far as I am concerned. Link to comment

Yes, thank you, this is the issue I am experiencing exactly. The notes linked within a table of contents should not have to all have the same tag in order to be able to follow those links. This does work properly only if you are not viewing the note within a note panel. Link to comment

Level 5* gazumped 12,021 Posted September 29, 2019 Level 5* Share Posted September 29, 2019 Hmmn. Not happening for me in Windows... I searched for one note by tag and found that note. The note contains a link to another note. I click the link and Evernote displays the linked note. The search information summary correctly shows "matching all of the following: tagged with <tag>" after the first search, and that message disappears when I click the link. Can't see any options which might change that behaviour. This is the latest public version 6.21.2 Link to comment

I have found that under some circumstances with different notes it may also works correctly for me, but I have not been able to determine the difference between working and not working.

I don't understand this bit, sorry. Not viewing a note within a note panel means what exactly? IAC, I can't repeat this either. Tried a tag search and click on a link, it went to the target note and context changed to All notes. Opened the note in its own window and clicked the link and the note appears in the stand alone window and context stays the same in the main window. Drug the tag into shortcuts, same result. Removed the tags from the target note, same result. Must be some condition I'm not using. 🤷♂️ Link to comment
Don Dz 165 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 I ran Optimize Database & Fix Selected Notes with all notes selected. Had no effect on the reported behavior, but I did notice some unique behaviors: In one tag search, it neither followed the link, nor did it display any notes of the tag search,, the note list and note view were both empty. In another tag search, clicking on the same link showed a completely different note, not the linked one. From this I assumed either a corrupted note or a corrupted link, so I replaced both by recreating the note and link and deleting the old ones. Same results as above. Finally, I assumed the dashboard note maybe corrupted, so I pasted the link to a new note, added the same tags I tested above. Same result. This affects too many tags to assume they are all corrupted. 6:21.2 GA EDIT: Uninstalling and reinstalling the program had no effect on the behavior. Going back to 6.20 fixed the problem, returning to 6.21 brought it back. In contact with support about this. So far they have confirmed what I reported., said they are working on it. Link to comment
