rh2020 - conditional expressions doesn't include 'is not'?

when I try to build conditional expressions with tags, I see include/exclude when <category> is <tag_name>.

Is the 'is not' option not available for building expressions? How do we handle that.

When you apply an expression any topics without tags will be included. What you get is what you include or exclude plus anything without a tag. That is not new.

 

You will only need to delete expressions but the change should not have affected how things work. With what I have said above and what is in the link I have given you, I would review what you have to ensure the logic is correct.

You mean Include when tag Is Not X or Exclude when tag Is Not X, correct?

 

Isn't Include when tag is Not X the same as include when all the tags except X are set to include? Maybe there is a scenario I am missing.

 

Also see Build Expressions (grainge.org) as the way AND/OR is confusing. It was written incorrectly by previous owners of the product and now Adobe cannot reverse that without wrecking all existing expressions.

I think the new tags are clashing with my older tags/expressions and therefore untagged topics are now showing up.

Will deleting/clearing all old tags and expressions or just deleting all old expressions make a difference?
