Preferably, when I study from the parent deck “A”, the cards in the subdecks B, C, D etc should follow the settings/learning steps/review order of their subdecks.

This is how they behave, regardless of FSRS.

But when I tried to replicate the deck structures shown in the example, I studied from the parent deck A and the cards in the subdeck B followed the subdeck’s learning steps.

Hmm… I think the manual might be wrong on this. I didn’t notice it until now. This section has also been overcomplicated by “depends on scheduler version” thing that we keep doing.

Have you tried this with SM-2? Do we get similar results?

It does the same thing when FSRS is turned off. The manual is either wrong or I did the experiment incorrectly, in which case I’m a dumbass.

I’m pretty sure it’s wrong. I meant to update this page eventually, so I’ll get this done soon, or at least put it in the issue tracker.

I agree, that doesn’t sound right. The click-to-study deck should be controlling Display Options (gather, sort), and influencing daily limits. That’s it.

OP, which guide are you looking at?  
It’s not from this one: [fsrs4anki/docs/tutorial.md at main · open-spaced-repetition/fsrs4anki · GitHub](https://github.com/open-spaced-repetition/fsrs4anki/blob/main/docs/tutorial.md)

It’s the Manual’s [Deck Options](https://docs.ankiweb.net/deck-options.html#subdecks) section.

Sorry for the confusion, it’s indeed wrong. I’ve pushed a quick fix.

I’m updating that page already. More like I’ve already updated it in my PR.

This is important enough to have its own fix. It shouldn’t wait for a revamp of the entire page and a PR that hasn’t been submitted yet.

It’s submitted as a draft. But I agree with you.
