What's Changed

Links facility

  • Obsidian links are now accessible in custom searches, sorting and grouping.
  • We plan to provide built-in instructions for these features in future.
  • Written by @rhhub, and refined by @claremacrae and @ilandikov.
  • See the user documentation

Tasks API

  • The Tasks API can now edit existing task lines.
  • Note that the caller needs to save the modified task line (or lines).
  • Written by @justise.
  • See the user documentation.

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

  • Fixed an issue reported by many uses, that Task was broken by/on iPadOS/iOs 18.6 and iPadOS/iOs 26 Public Beta 2.
  • Fixed by @claremacrae in #3563
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('πŸ”Ίβ³')
/⏳/u.test('πŸ”Ί ⏳')
/⏳/u.test('πŸ”Ί  ⏳')

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.

Here are the most notable user-visible changes.

🌟 Features

Presets facility (fixes #2443 and #2267)

  • Presets allow you to save commonly used task query instructions and reuse them across multiple queries.
  • Instead of repeatedly typing the same complex filters and sorting options, you can define them once in settings and reference them by name.
  • For example, this is useful for daily notes with standard task queries, where you can now change search criteria in one place and have all your task views update automatically.

Written by @claremacrae and @ilandikov.
See the user documentation.

Major performance boost

Review and check your Statuses

  • The 'Review and check your Statuses' feature in Tasks Settings now adds sample tasks, so you can test your custom statuses easily, and check their styling by @claremacrae in #3440
