Base on list and tasks/ todo

Use case or problem

Currently we filter the information on the document level. We can’t do a more granular base. Suppose we want to get bases that contain tasks which contain certain properties. Or list items (such as a line or paragraph) which has a specific tag.

As a intuitive scenario, let’s build a base where the list item

  • is a task/ todo
  • contains a due property
  • due is before or equal to today
  • not done yet
    In the list of tasks which are visible now, we can show due, done status etc. We can change the due, mark the task to done.

Proposed solution

Dataview could return metadata for list items. We will need a way to specify if we are filtering the markdown file or the list items (which includes todo).

Current workaround (optional)

Not without DataView
