I’m trying to find a way to have the tasks query show only tasks marked with specific statuses.
I’ve found
“done”
and
“not done”
will show only complete or incomplete tasks, but I can’t figure out how to get it to show other statuses like in progress, cancelled, forwarded, etc.
By default tasks in Obsidian can only toggle between state “complete” and state “incomplete”.
https://help.obsidian.md/Editing+and+formatting/Basic+formatting+syntax#Task%20lists
If you want more than that, you need a community plugin or theme, that supporrs additional states.
Using the tasks plugin you can read this documentation: Custom Statuses - Tasks User Guide - Obsidian Publish
And if you’re using dataview similar documentation on how to use custom status es can be given.
But please verify whether your using the tasks plugin, or something else, and what setup you’ve done related to custom statuses.
sorry forget to specify, I’m using the tasks plugin
Yes, I’m using the tasks plugin, sorry forgot to specify
I cipher it. In the image under Status Name or Status Type there is status.name and status.type.
I did the following to query for Cancelled
done
status.type is cancelled
Hope this helps.
