Issue/Introduction

When Project filter and Task filter are applied on the New UI task screen, the timeline view is not displaying the correct data. The same filter displays correct data on the grid view.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE: 

1. Go to Modern UX - Tasks
2. Use Filter 1 - A Project attribute, and Filter 2 - A Task attribute
3. Specify with an OR condition.

Expected Result: Displays correct data in both Grid and Timeline views.

Actual Result: The timeline view is not displaying the correct data when using Project and Task Filters with OR condition but Grid view works fine.

Resolution

The Tasks Workspace Timeline is designed to use a multiple object data provider to display investments and tasks in a WBS hierarchical layout. When filtering by investment fields, the timeline filters for records matching the criteria from the investment object. Due to the use of an "OR" condition, any filter criteria applied to task object fields will retrieve records matching those criteria. This behavior differs from the grid view, which utilizes a combined data provider.
