Sorry Bondo, that's why they recommend using a filter for one thing and then pull your filters together to form your targets i.e. Filter 1: Computers running Windows 7 & Filter 2: Computers with less than 10GB remaining hard drive can then be combined into a target.

The idea is that over time you end up with a battery of filters to pull together into your targets.

Send me an email if you need any more information

What you say is somewhat true but it doesn't really address the challenge I have in Workflow.  I can exclude a filter from a filter using the console.  If you open a filter and look at the Exclusions section there is an option "Filters excluded in this filter".  I am trying to automate this in Workflow and I am looking for which component can help me do this.

I remember running across this a few days ago.  You can reproduce by going directly to the collection web service.  Adding inclusion or exclusion collections were ignored.  I later found a KB article that confirmed it, but now I can't find it again.  I'll make a note to make sure a bug was logged against it.

My project's workaround was to set the collection to SQL mode. 

Thanks Scottwed for the information.  I have been waiting now 3 days to get a response back from support.  In the meantime I have found a work around to update the table "CollectionExcludeCollection" using a "Table Generator" in Workflow.  If anyone needing to do this needs more info feel free to email me.

I've avoided directly touching those tables due to past NS6 behaviour.  I can't vouch for SMP7, but I recommend checking to see if your entry disappears overnight.  In NS6 days, the scheduled tasks would scrub the collection tables on a nightly/weekly basis.

One other thing, I haven't had time to download it yet, but it's possible the bug was fixed in the brand new release of ASDK v7 (prior version was v2.x)

I actually opened a case on this with support a couple months ago since I couldn't add a filter to an inclusion nor exclusion.  We ended up testing with the ASDK v7 pre-beta version and it worked fine.  I think the ASDK 7 has been released since then so you may want to upgrade and check it out.
