Your question

Hi there,

Apologies if the answer to this question is obvious or has been answered elsewhere. I did some searching around but couldn't find an answer, this seemed like it might be the best place to ask for searchability for others.

With BetterTags, can I create a filtered deck from hierarchical tags?

If I have tags Animals > Mammals and Animals > Reptiles and Animals > Birds (each with multiple levels beneath them), would I be able to create a filtered deck for Animals?

I am not currently a Patreon supporter but this feature would probably persuade me!

Thanks

Turns out this feature exists in Anki anyway. When creating your filtered deck just use * as a wildcard for the ending. e.g. tag:Animals::*
