Add recurring tasks into daily note

[Terry_C]

Things I have tried

I tried Tasks Plugin, but I can’t find a way to add recurring tasks into daily note. Can someone help or provide some suggestion?

What I want

I manage the recurring tasks in a specied folder, when i create daliy note with template, I hope the recurring tasks(weekly or monthly) can be add into the daily note.

What I’m trying to do

Are you using the tasks plugin for task management? It has very nice recurrence options.

If not, you could look into a dataview query. Looking at the frontmatter in your image, I don’t know that its got enough detail to pull it out on a specific day, but, to just get a list of those, something like this might get you started

list from "recurring tasks" 

And then, once you have your date information sorted out, some kind of where clause to filter it down to the specifics you’re looking for.

Hope that helps you get going

recurrence options

Thanks for your reply. I didn’t use Tasks plugin before. I am now trying to.

There are 3 ways I am working:

1. Tasks Plugin: Practice more and get more understanding of its features about recurrence options.
2. Tasks + Dataview: Try to consolidate this two plugins to manage recurring tasks and make it show in my daily notes.
3. Templater Plugin: Study some Javascript, and add my user script with Templater Plugin, to make it happen that when I create daily note with template, my user script can automtically get the correct recurring tasks and add into daily note.

For 3, I have finished part of my user script, it can automatically get recurring tasks and add into daily note when creating, but without date and period conditions. I am now looking for the suitable Obsidian API to get the fronmatter of the md file, and calculate the correct date(start date, end date, period)

My user script as below

const files = this.app.vault.getMarkdownFiles();

async function main() {	
	let recurringTask = "";
	for (let i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
		if (files[i].name.includes("🔁")) {
 	 		recurringTask = recurringTask + "- [ ] [[" +files[i].name +"]]\n";
		}
	}	
	return recurringTask;
}

module.exports = main;

I think you’re making this harder on yourself than you need to. Something as simple as this could do the trick.

tasks
not done
is recurring
due before tomorrow

(tasks needs to go on the same line as your opening ticks, but forum formatter isn’t helping me out today)

Check out the Tasks Filtering Documentation to get an idea what you can do with it.

As practicing more with Tasks plugin, I found a way to manage my recurring tasks well.

Many thanks for your help!
