There are some errors in your `org-agenda-filter-preset':
1. You should not quote this list, because the entire structure of
`org-agenda-custom-commands' is already quoted.
Quoting a list works fine in my org-agenda-custom-commands settings.
In fact, there are other variables that have quoted lists as their
setting, such as org-agenda-entry-types.
2. Format of `org-agenda-filter-preset' (C-h v
org-agenda-filter-preset RET):
,----
| A preset of the tags filter used for secondary agenda filtering.
| This must be a list of strings, each string must be a single
tag preceded
| by "+" or "-".
`----
So ("@work" "|" "critical") is wrong format.
That's the problem.
3. The preset filter ANDs the tags together and as far as I am aware
of (our could think of) it is not possible to OR tags together.
However, I wonder why you would like to set the preset-filter: The
tags-todo query already selects only tasks that are either tagged
@work or critical?
It would make sense if org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled is 'all or
'past.
To use "or" logic to filter the agenda, I would recommend setting
org-agenda-skip-function.
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
'(("W" "Work Schedule"
((agenda ""
((org-agenda-skip-function '(org-agenda-skip-entry-if 'notregexp
":\\(@Work\\|critical\\):")))
(org-agenda-ndays 1)))
(tags-todo "@Work|critical")))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Best,
Matt
