Can obsidian-tracker work with obsidian-tasks?

[shihtiy-tw]

Hi,

I have been using this plugin "obsidian-tasks" for a while and I will use filter to get all the tasks from different notes to my daily notes.

For example, I will use the following method to filter out my undone tasks in my daily note:

```tasks
not done
due on 2021-09-02
is not recurring
```

Recently, I found this great plugin and I want to record my daily tasks with charts.

However, after play around "obsidian-tracker", I found that it will find the task in daily note while I use "obsidian-tasks" to filter tasks from other notes to my daily notes and thus "obsidian-tracker" cannot find the tasks from my daily notes.

Does anyone try similar method? How do you make these two plugins work together?

Thanks!

Hi @shihtiy-tw,

Tracker cannot extract data from a rendered block. (They are rendered as HTML in the preview mode) So you have to use Tracker to extract data directly from the the notes where tasks reside. That means all the filtering should be done in Tracker.

Unfortunately, we don't have the function to do filtering yet. But, it's on the road map already. :)

Hi @pyrochlore,

Thank you for checking this issue and provide the answer.

Really look forward to the filtering function for obsidian-tracker.

This is how habits looks in Life-Disciplines-Projects.

• [ ] #task [Morning] Floss Teeth 🔁 every day 📅 2021-10-30
• [x] #task [Morning] Floss Teeth 🔁 every day 📅 2021-10-29 ✅ 2021-10-29
• [x] #task [Morning] Floss Teeth 🔁 every day 📅 2021-10-28 ✅ 2021-10-28

I think it will be incredible to connect tracker with tasks! Maybe it's possible to use dataview API as it can annotate inline tasks and already understand common Tasks metadata.

I would especially like to use this with the calendar view. Maybe even create something like the theme system journal?
