TASK FROM “/” WHERE !task does not work too.
What do you expect out of that query?
It’s not really making any sense as you’re asking for TASKS that is list item where the the task is set to true, and then you negate that by doing WHERE !task aka asking the it to be a faulty value. That gives, and sound give nothing.
If you want non-task list items you should use LIST (possibly with flatten and/or without id) with something similar in the where clause.
LIST is query to files in vault. Not solve the problem
This?
```dataview
LIST
file.lists
FROM ""
LIMIT 10
```
I actually query like this:
TASK From “/” WHERE !task AND coined= “reserved”
to extract list items with annotation [coined::reserved], I can not get it work.
What are you trying to accomplish with the following line?:
WHERE !task
That line removes all tasks found by FROM "/", resulting in an empty list.
As said before, you can’t do the TASKS & WHERE !task together, they counter each other. You need to use LIST in combination with some other magic. Try out the following in a note of its own, and see if you get how to to do this:
- [ ] Oopsie, that was a task
- Not a task, nor reserved
- Another list item [coined:: reserved]
- Yet another (coined:: reserved) item
- [ ] A (reserved:: reserved) task
## All list items
```dataview
LIST WITHOUT ID item
FLATTEN file.lists as item
WHERE file.name = this.file.name
```
## Non-task and coined:: reserved
```dataview
LIST WITHOUT ID item.text
FLATTEN file.lists as item
WHERE file.name = this.file.name
WHERE !item.task AND item.coined = "reserved"
```
This outputs the following:
I’m ignoring the output of the first list, but as you can see, this lists out each of the list (and task) test in the first listing, and in the second it’s limiting based upon not being tasks, and having the reserved text for the coined field.
When you adapt to your setting, you would most likely want to replace the WHERE line with something a little more limiting, like either a FROM clause and/or another WHERE clause. My WHERE clause limits the query to that particular file.
It worked fine only remove WHERE file.name = this.file.name
