Open Task for today not visible - Happens between Start and Due date

[joleaf]

Hey girls&guys,
I have a question regarding the Task ✅ plugin 🙂 -> Assuming I have a task "Doing important stuff", Start date was yesterday and Due date is tomorrow. In my daily notes I have a query sometheing like this:

2023-11-16 <- TODAY

```task
path does not include Templates
(happens on 2023-11-16) OR (done on 2023-11-16)

However, the task "Doing important stuff" is not visible today in this query. -> Is there a way to show this task? So what I want so see here are also the task, that are started before today and end after today, so there is NO date field for today.

Hi @joleaf,

Some general bits of advice around using Tasks, that may help you help yourself...

1. Read these two sections in the docs: most people who get the "wrong" search results have not understood these limitations of formatting their tasks...
   • What do I need to know about the order of items in a task?
   • How can I check that my Task is formatted correctly?
2. When a query is not doing what you expected, add an explain instruction... it will show you how your query is interpreted. This answers most questions.
   • If you don't understand the explain output, paste it as text in a reply here...
3. If you still have questions, when asking for help, paste in your tasks as text...
   • Without seeing the actual task lines, I cannot test the behaviour nor validate the user's task lines and assumptions....
