Tasks under a specific heading?

[renarl]

Is there a way to get tasks that are under a specific heading in the markdown file?

[blacksmithgu]

As of about 20 minutes ago, yes -

TASK FROM <whateve-rsource>
WHERE header = [[File#Header]]

[renarl]

Wow, that was quick 🤩 Thanks!

[melbv]

Thanks a lot @blacksmithgu
What would be the equivalent js function? It seesms that dv.header is just a render function.
Thanks in advance

[melbv]

Let's see whether @blacksmithgu has this in scope.
There is a workaround which would be to generate the query and associate it with a header through a js block but was not my original intention...

[blacksmithgu]

Ooh, I see, you are looking for the header that the query is under.

That is trickier - Obsidian does not provide this information to me by default; you could maybe infer it by looking for heading HTML objects in the rendered page...

Let me fidale with it this afternoon.

[melbv]

Ah shame - let me know if you came to some conclusion! Ill have a look at the html route tomorrow (bst/gmt here!)!

[blacksmithgu]

This is a little tricky to do, but I will try to include it in the upcoming section metadata major release (0.5.x); the trick is essentially to traverse the DOM looking for the first header element above the codeblock.

[alanalvarado]

This would be very useful!

[melbv]

Great! Thanks a lot & looking forward to it 19 Oct 2021, 23:12 by ***@***.***:

Great functionality @blacksmithgu - thank you. I'm trying to insert the file name dynamically... something like

TASK FROM "Folder" where header = "[[" + file.name + "#Actions" + "]]"

I can't get this to work. If I replace with the literal file/header name it works fine. E.g.

header = [[2022-02-25#Actions]]

Any ideas how to do this?

Hi, after some searches and trials, I managed to use dataviewjs to do that.

dv.taskList(dv.pages(dv.current().file.link+"").where(page => page.file.folder == "Folder")
  .flatMap(page => page.file.tasks.where(t => t.section.subpath == "Actions")))

Got my ideas from #664 (for the dv.current().file.link+"" part) and #1235 (the idea of using dataviewjs)

Might not be the best one but hope it helps!

[TreantBG]

My solution was to use a kanbans with the tag #project and get only the ToDos

dv.taskList(dv.pages("#projects")
.flatMap(page => page.file.tasks.where(t => t.section.subpath == "To Do")))

TASK 
FROM "source"
WHERE !completed
SORT ASC
GROUP BY header

the group by header worked for me.

[raphaelhuleux]

Hi! I'm also using the GROUP BY header, which works, but it also shows the title of the file before each header. Is there a way to remove that?

[mnvwvnm]

If only the header/section without the link ability:

TASK 
FROM "folder/path"
WHERE !completed
GROUP BY meta(section).subpath
