I am creating a task report with the goal of showing tasks that are ready to start by a certain group of individiuals (these filters are already applied) and don't have documents within a specific folder (the project-level folder titled "design").... Is there a way to filter by that second part? If so, can you assist with the text mode?

In summary, I want the report to show me tasks in which the task is assigned to the a team or specificed individuals, it's predecessor is complete, AND there are no documents within the "design" folder.

 

There was a very similar question Community question by @timothybr and response by @randyroberts that is almost the answer, but I can't figure out how to tweak it for me need.

I'm not certain this will work for what you need, but one thing you could try is to change the linking lines (lines ending in "document:projectID=FIELD:ID"). Trade all the FIELD:ID parts for FIELD:projectID and see if that gets you anywhere.
