4.3.0

TaskNotes 4.3.0

Changed

  • Thanks to @23maverick23 and @Jpeeters for reporting (#865)

Added

• (#1361) Option to disable inline task overlay for aliased wikilinks

  • New setting in Features → Inline Tasks: "Disable overlay for aliased links"
  • When enabled, links with aliases like [[Task|Check Status]] render as plain links
  • Links without aliases continue to show the interactive task widget
  • Useful when embedding tasks in prose where the widget would be disruptive
  • Thanks to @diegomarzaa for the contribution and @jldiaz for proposing this feature in #1117

• (#1199, #1205) Google Calendar export for tasks

  • Thanks to @MiracleXYZ for reporting

• (#1144) Fixed relationships.base showing empty views for Projects, Blocked By, and Blocking tabs

  • The top-level task filter was excluding non-task files from the Projects view
  • Projects can be any file type (not just tasks), so the filter is now applied per-view
  • Subtasks, Blocked By, and Blocking views retain the task filter; Projects view does not
  • Users with existing relationships.base files should delete and regenerate them to get the fix

  • Dragging a due event now updates the task's due date property
  • Thanks to @same774 for reporting

• Improved calendar view responsiveness for user interactions

  • Task creation, editing, timeblock changes, and view option toggles now update immediately

  • The +/- buttons below the timer now have visible backgrounds and borders
  • Hover states show accent color border for clearer interactivity feedback

TaskNotes 4.0.5

Changed

• (#790) Task edit modal now shows unresolved project links with appropriate styling
  • Similar to how dependencies are displayed, unresolved projects now appear with visual indication
  • Hovering over an unresolved project shows a tooltip explaining it couldn't be resolved
  • Thanks to @aubreyz for reporting

Fixed

• (#1011) Fixed chevrons incorrectly showing on tasks with no subtasks
  • Project index was incorrectly adding all linked files instead of only files referenced in the projects field
  • Now properly parses the projects field and only indexes those specific files as projects
  • Also fixed alias handling in project and dependency links - aliases are now correctly stripped before link resolution
  • Thanks to @craziedde for reporting
• (#1200) Fixed kanban drag & drop not updating task properties correctly
  • Dragging tasks to different columns now properly triggers business logic (completedDate, auto-archive, webhooks)
  • Previously, kanban updates bypassed updateProperty and directly modified frontmatter

• (#1203) Fixed autocomplete dropdown being clipped inside NLP field boundaries
  • Configure CodeMirror tooltips to render in document.body instead of constrained editor container
  • Prevents suggestion dropdown from being hidden when it extends beyond the NLP field height

  • Thanks to @RumiaKitinari for reporting
• (#1193), (#1194), (#1185) Fixed new calendar views not respecting user's default calendar settings
  • Previously, new Bases calendar views used hardcoded inline defaults instead of user-configured preferences
  • Calendar view initialization now correctly uses plugin.settings.calendarViewSettings as the fallback
  • Thanks @ki5ck, @minchinweb and @ThamirysOlv for reporting
• Fixed calendar to ensure that it respects user's locale
  • Tries to use calendar locale, then tries UI language, then system language, then falls back to English
• (#1043) Fixed default reminders with "at time of event" (0 offset) not being applied to tasks
  • UI was displaying "1" instead of "0" for zero-offset reminders in settings
  • Thanks to @dblinnikov for reporting
• (#1206) Fixed NLP status parsing regressions with trigger prefixes and temporal keywords
  • Manually typing status trigger + label now correctly parses (e.g., *Done when label is Done)

  • Now correctly extracts and displays all file properties from Obsidian's file metadata
  • Supports both direct TFile properties (name, basename, extension, path, size, ctime, mtime) and computed properties (links, embeds, tags, backlinks, aliases)

  • Prevents cards from extending beyond column boundaries before virtualization activates
  • Thanks to @lomarcanys for reporting
• (#1177) Bases views now anchor recurring completion and calendar navigation to the right date
  • Recurring completion from Bases Task List/Kanban uses the task's scheduled/due date instead of "today" (fixes complete_instances)
  • Bases calendar navigation and property-based events use UTC anchors to avoid previous-day jumps
  • Thanks to @nslee123 for flagging the issue
• Bases calendar navigation now respects UTC-anchored dates to avoid landing on the previous day

  • Added regression test for the UTC anchor behavior
