Description

The Tasks plugin is a powerful tool for managing tasks across your entire Obsidian knowledge base. With this plugin, you can track tasks in any note or query, set due dates, recurring tasks, and done dates, and even filter by specific criteria. You can also mark tasks as done from anywhere, and the status will be updated in the source file. The plugin includes a range of features, including sub-set checklists, grouping, and sorting, making it easy to organize and prioritize your tasks. Whether you're managing personal or professional projects, the Tasks plugin is a great way to stay on top of your workload and boost your productivity.

Tasks Query Wizard

Describe what you need - overdue tasks, weekly reviews, project-specific filters - and let the Query Wizard craft the query for you. No syntax memorization needed.

Tasks API

  • The Tasks API can now edit existing task lines.
  • Note that the caller needs to save the modified task line (or lines).

Fix Tasks on iOS and iPadOS versions 18.6 and 26 Public Beta 2

Details of the iPadOS/iOs bug

Here is a minimal reproduction, which can be pasted in the Obsidian Console.

The Tasks plugin uses code like the following very simplified example to parse Markdown lines:

/⏳/u.test('🔺⏳')
/⏳/u.test('🔺 ⏳')
/⏳/u.test('🔺  ⏳')

It is expected that on all platforms, all the above 3 test examples should return true, saying that the character ⏳ is present in the test string.

In iPadOS/iOs 18.6 and iPadOS/iOs 26 Public Beta 2, the middle example - with a single space - wrongly returns false!!!.

This completely breaks the Task plugin's parsing of task lines, in all the normal cases where there is only a single space between fields.
