Not in the current version, but there is already feature request approved for a new kind of filter, ‘Note tags’ : FR: Tag filtering on PAGE tags for scanning tasks · Issue #122 · tu2-atmanand/Task-Board · GitHub
Your suggestion has given a nice idea for a improvement to this feature. Instead of keeping it specifically for ‘Note’s tag’, I think it will be better to make it more dynamic so user can specify the [property, value] pair. So, only notes which contains this YAML property and with the specific value will be only scanned for tasks, or will be ignored from scanning based on the option selected.
Thank you for this suggestion. Feel free to create a new FR on GitHub, explaining this in further details. Will help to discuss it better !

I’m having a problem where the TaskBoard UI disappears completely after showing up for a split second. I’m not sure what could be causing this issue but it makes the plugin not usable unfortunately. I’ve tried this on multiple machines, both using Mac Desktop Obsidian, latest version. 1.8.9 with very few community plugins on the AnupPuccin theme. I disabled many community plugins and still have the issue. I also tried the Default and Minimal themes and still experiencing the issue.

Hi @deluded !
Thank you for reporting this bug. If this plugin works perfectly fine but breaks only on certain vaults, then I believe this bug must be similar to this know issue : BUG : Column fail to render if there are links or external links with tags in the task title. · Issue #200 · tu2-atmanand/Task-Board · GitHub
We can take forward the discussion for the same in this respective issue on GitHub, or you can even DM me with some dummy tasks for which the plugin fails to load the tasks because they have ‘#’ symbols in them which are not tags. The plugin right now couldnt able to figure out whether its a normal tag or not and hence fails. Will fix this issue soon.
Task Board V1.4.0-beta
At first, I didn’t thought I will be making this plugin available for small screens, because it is supposed to be a dashboard, so I assumed user will be watching it on big screens. But over time, with many users requests, and also after started using various synching plugins, to sync my vault across devices. I realized, it will be very helpful to be able to get all this plugin features from phones as well to make quick changes on the go.
Hence, I have started the development and as of now, I am able to achieve a quite good development on achieving this full support for mobile devices. The only challenge, when it comes to small devices, is how the UI will look and secondly how the user experience(UX) will be while using this plugin. I am not an expert in UI, but I have at least tried to have the best UX practices. The following is one such example : Mobile version development · tu2-atmanand/Task-Board · Discussion #177 · GitHub

Task Board v1.4.0 
| Mobile Support
Finally! After a long wait, the mobile support is here. Few major UI/UX changes were required to give the best experience for mobile users. Mainly, in the two modals, AddOrEditTaskModal and the BoardConfigModal, the metadata properties section and tab navigation bar has been converted as a slide over to keep the unnecessary things hidden when not required.
Besides this main achievement, here are some highlighted new features in this release :
- Reminder plugin compatibility : Easily add a reminder to any plugin using the same due date and scheduled time values.
- Highlightr plugin compatibility : Now users can add highlighting HTML tags, such as
<mark> and <font> to style their tasks.
- Card background color based on tag : A new way to using your tag color to locate the tasks easily using their background color.
- The due indicator bar color will now going to also consider the scheduled time to change its color. A new color, ‘blue’, has been added to indicate the start of the task.
- Task Board will now use pickr package to provide a better color picker and sortablejs for giving priority changing option for tag colors.

@AzHousePro extremely sorry for providing the wrong link in my previous comment. I saw it just now. I have updated the link and you do not have to install the Hover Editor plugin that was a mistake from my end to provide the wrong link and misunderstanding your last comment.
But still I am not sure if that’s the original problem your are facing. I feel the real problem here is with the date offset issue by 1, maybe. Where few users from certain timzones are experiencing a offset in their columns. Like today’s tasks are shown in yesterday(overdue) column or tomorrow tasks are shown on today’s column.
This can also be fixed by simply adding a 1 for all the to and from values in the configuration as discussed here : [Bug] The board tasks are offset by 1 day - today's tasks appear as "Over Due", etc. · Issue #130 · tu2-atmanand/Task-Board · GitHub
I am working on this issue and will be solved soon if I get some more feedback kn this same.
do you have plans to implement dragging between the kanban columns?
Yes, definitely!
This is a one feature on the roadmap which is even I am excited to have in this plugin. Since it will make it a lot easier to change the properties of the tasks by simply moving them from one column to another. But because this plugin has a lot of automation features (a lot more planned in the future), it’s a little complicated to implement it in this plugin, compared to say the Kanban plugin, which is pretty static board. And I also want to have the smoothness just like the Kanban plugin as they have implemented it perfectly.
I have recently got some amazing contributions for this feature so I think I’ll proceed with this feature and you might see it soon in the upcoming releases.
Here is the discussion for this feature: Drag and Drop feature for cards · tu2-atmanand/Task-Board · Discussion #275 · GitHub

Task Board v1.6.0 | Safe Guard
Hello everyone!
There are various new features which has been released in this version. But the most highlighted feature is the Task Board Safe Guard, which ensures that the current content in your notes and the scanned content by Task Board is always consistent so Task Board do not accidentally overwrite your updated content. This was required, because, Obsidian is getting more and more complicated with so many plugins and workflows released everyday. Hence this comparison mechanism will give you warning to not overwrite your old content. If you sync you vault, there is also a setting to sync the cache. Other than this you will find various new features which are mostly UI focused and more.
New Features
- Huge improvement in load time : Now download/update the language translation files on demand. No more bundling all the language files within the package. Plugin bundle size has been reduced by a great factor to improve the load time.
- Safe Guard : Never loose your content. Proper content match will be done before updating your content. A new Content Compare modal to see the changes.
- Path filtered column : A new type of column to filter out all the tasks from a specific file in the column.
- Re-order boards : Now change the order of the boards inside Board Configure modal. Move default board on top.
- Frontmatter tags inheritance : Get your notes frontmatter tags applied to the tasks within the notes. ( also known as Virtual tags).
- Search tasks : A new search bar to search your tasks on the board for content only. (filters coming soon)
- A new setting to select the notification service you want to use, and get the same formatting while adding reminder property.
- Task count statistics : Get tasks count in the whole board with a progress bar and task count for each column in column header.
- Card UI : More card customizations to show and hide sub-tasks and description sections by default and with sub-tasks progress bar when hidden.
- Change the tasks cache file location,
task-board-cache-file, from the plugin configuration folder to anywhere inside the vault. Very helpful and essential in case you sync your vault on multiple devices.
- Add the task property at the cursor position, instead of always appending it at the end of the task.

Here are some more images which gives the demonstration of card’s UI customization using the new Customize card sections setting and the Safe Guard Feature.
I couldnt able to keep my words for the Drag and drop feature, which I said ill be releasing in version 1.7.0. There were various other functionalities this feature depends on hence, I need to make sure it works as expected without any issues. So, I have planned to release this feature in the version 1.10.0. By then it will give me enough time to test it properly.
Go through the updated roadmap : https://github.com/tu2-atmanand/Task-Board/milestones
Hello Everyone!
In past few releases I took some time out for specifically fixing the bugs and few optimizations instead of proceeding with more feature implementations. All known bugs have been fixed and also few nice optimizations techniques has been used in the latest versions : Release 1.6.11 · tu2-atmanand/Task-Board · GitHub
Please update the plugin to the latest version if you haven’t done it already.
There might be some rare case handling which I might have not yet encountered and may have not handled yet. So, if you do found any issue in your workflow, kindly report it, as it will help a lot to make this plugin completely bug free and work in any scenario.
Now, that the plugin is in stable state, I am moving forward with working on the next release, which has planned some interesting and useful features. Checkout the planned features here : Task Board planned features for version 1.7.0.
Thank you!
