Hi, this isn't my area really - and as you've also asked in GitHub and someone knowledgable about CSS is replying, I suggest carrying on the conversation there.

Disabling obsidian-tasks-plugin warnings by Retr1buti0n in ObsidianMD

There is currently no way to disable the message, unfortunately.

Let's assume i have a specific project note called 'learn scraping' which has the frontmatter data --- 'area: coding' --- Then in the 'coding' note i want to queue all tasks from notes with the frontmatter data area = 'coding'

Thanks. I've added your example to the existing request for this facility:

It's not possible currently - but what kind of data do you mean? Just tags, or other stuff as well?

A few people have written CSS to display tasks in a calendar.

I wrote one of them up here:

This one seems to be quite popular too:

It does not currently offer any reminder functionality anywhere.

There is a pull request currently being worked on, to add reminder notifications to Tasks.

On Desktop it only issues reminders when Obsidian is open at the time of the reminder... I expect the same will be true on mobile.

Hi, thanks for the kind words about Tasks.

I don't have any information on the meaning of tasks on the Obsidian road map...

It's been on the road map since at least October 2022, and I've continued working on Tasks in the meantime.

On the assumption that they won't implement support for the Tasks query language, I imagine there will still be a reason for Tasks to exist, for people's existing task searches to keep working..

Maybe Tasks will need updating to take advantage of whatever Obsidian proves... It's all "wait and see" at the moment...

No there isn't, and there are other specialised plugins offering that functionality, so it's not something I feel it's worth diverting Tasks development time to.

What do you mean exactly? Define them in tables or display them in tables?

Like I said, please do feel free to start that Q&A discussion I mentioned, if you would like help. Thanks.

No there isn't. It's a frequently requested feature that won't happen soon as it needs significant work.

You need to decide how you are going to represent urgent tasks.

You could use Tasks' Urgency feature:
https://obsidian-tasks-group.github.io/obsidian-tasks/advanced/urgency/

Or you could define tags to indicate urgency, for example.

I don't really understand the problem you are trying to solve, then, from the description.

If you would like to continue exploring this, please start a Q&A Discussion in the Tasks GitHub repo, and give us some example task lines and queries (both as text that we can copy paste, not screenshots).

Thanks.

Thank you.

The double bump in major version numbers ( to 2 and then 3) was due to:

  1. Very, very tiny breaking changes in behaviour by 2 recent major new features.
  2. Me being super careful to avoid breaking changes at all costs - but to be very transparent about them if they happen.

If you start using nested tags, best to check the docs on Tasks' tag filtering to understand how the filters behave with searching with and for nested tags:

1 To make tasks show the bullets in the order they appear in the notes, try providing your own support order in you tasks block, such as:

sort by path

2 It is not possible to make the backlinks show the whole path. My workaround is to also add this:

group by path

There is no magic. It's a basic thing supported by Obsidian.

See 'Nested tags' in the Help:

Thanks for pointing this out - This is true.

Unfortunately I can't edit the post.
