Report Category including all sub-categories

Hi,
I updated the application but there is no longer the possibility to extract the report including subcategories.

before there was the flag to indicate to take into account all subcategories

This is where the use of regular expressions is needed. It is not very obvious to users. Not sure how we make this obvious. As @renato-mmex points out many times, we don't have a user guide that is kept up-to-date.

We can return the checkbox as it was before. If the checkbox is checked then add .* to the search text, if this line corresponds to a category from the list (Otherwise, the query string can be considered a regular expression.).
In principle, it is not a complicated fix.

I actually deleted this element in order to recreate it again, but with a new logic of work.

I like the idea....

• If user selects a category (with no subcategory) we enable the checkbox
• If they select the checkbox then the search, as you say, appends .*

I would also welcome this checkbox back.
Lately I have the impression that the usability of MMEX suffers because of the not self-explanatory new options.

It's definitely better than it was!
