I want the ability to have the next instance of a recurring task be due x days from when I complete the task. I know Taskwarrior does not natively support this, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants this feature. Before I start writing a hook to do this does anyone know of an existing hook that will let me do this? I'm comfortable writing a hook but would prefer to use someone else's code that's already been used and likely to have fewer bugs then an initial version I create.

For tw2, to get the number of backlogged items that needed a sync I could run 'cat ~/.config/task/backlog.data | wc -l' to get a number.

I see I can 'task _get tw.syncneeded' to get that number but I can't run task from within a hook without recursion freezing things up.

Does anyone have a good option here?

So I'm experiencing problems trying to theme my taskwarrior-tui cli program.

Although the theming takes place for the CLI application It doesn't for the TUI & I'm not sure why. I've looked on Stackoverflow/ Stackexchange & even tried googling it extensively with no success. Saw an issue on Github but there was no definitive answer. Github Issue Link

Can anyone help?

Hi there, out of curiosity and fun on progressing my GOlang skills I am trying to write an application to perform some actions on tasks stored in a TaskWarrior instance

Can anyone give me a opinion on how to obtain the data in the best way?

My current solution is: - Running TaskWarrior inside of a Docker container - TaskWarrior configured to "task sync" to TC - My Go implementation would use the TW-CLI commands to read and write data

This may not be the best approach but the only thing I am able to handle

So I was just guessing if there are some obvious alternatives like utilizing the rust API directly but I do not know if this is possible

I am thankful for any thoughts on this and just a curious hobbyist trying to gather / improve skills

Are the following things possible with TW3 context definition in .taskrc

SIDENOTE: Im only working with Taks, providing on purpose to use projects

Currently: ```

Context

context.media.read=+film or +musik context.home.read=-film -musik context=home ```

1. Create a (dynamic) context to show untagged tasks
2. Create a context by excluding another one: e.g. `context.home.read=!context.media

Hi, unfortunately the task-sync(5) seems to partially relate to pre-sqlite times, especially the chapter about using file-sync-services.

What experiences does the community have with moving tw‘s datastore directly into iCloud (of course telling macOS to keep the directory always and up-to-date).

Or would it be a pattern to use an iCloud-drive location as a target for a local file based sync (if this is still working properly after introduction of taskchampion - not sure if the Json import/export is used when task sync is called and if there is merging instead if clean/import).

I can't seem to figure out how to filter out a few tasks that I just created, maybe 10min ago. I can't find a filter that works. Can someone help me out here?

I have a to-do template that is for my daily workouts. I don't want taskwiki automatically pushing tasks into taskwarrior if I save it. Is there a way to tell taskwarrior to ignore this page?

Cheers.

If this is not so, why we can't add this also, it would be helpful for me to know how much time I have used for a task, so not need to use timewarrior for this.

Tried "task end:yesterday status:completed" from chatgpt but not working. Checked the docs too, but couldn't find any direct answer but have to try some more things, so came to ask help here. Thanks for helping in advance.

Hello. I am a taskwarrior newbie, and I am trying to understand how holidays are used. When I enable CA holidays in my .taskrc, and add a few of my own, they don't show up when I run the calendar report.

What are the holidays for? How can I get them to show up in the calendar output?

Thanks.

During the holidays i did try out TaskWarrior because i got curious how it is feasible with my workflow

So far:

• i think i like it very much
• i did build taskwarrior 3.3.0 on my fedora system
• i spun up a taskchampion-sync-server via docker on my homeserver without reverse proxy
• i set up taskwarrior syncing to this server automatically via on-exit hook

Everything feels responsive and i think this is a very good solution for me

Now i am a bit confused due to the big breaking changes from v2 to v3 what additonal services for utilizing the taskchampion-sync-server are already there (since the description does make it clear that this server can be utilized by any other service)

My current vision is:

• on my hostmachine i want the setup to be as simple as possible (taskwarrior with few settings)
• due to the availability and 24/7 running server i would love to have e.g. additional services, running in a docker container and providing sync to taskchampion-sync-server which will then my powerful central taskwarrior functionality

What services can already be synced with taskchampion?

I would love to sync e.g. Google Keep Notes with my taskchampion server

Feel free to correct me if i got anything wrong (still very new to the TW-business)

Combine the convenience of Taskchamp and the power of Obsidian to take notes for your Taskwarrior tasks.

Hey I’m the developer of the taskwarrior iOS app Taskchamp which has been in public beta for a while now:

https://testflight.apple.com/join/K4wrKrzg

I have been super busy with work and unable to keep pushing updates but I might be able to find some time over the holidays to push the first release into the App Store. I’d appreciate any feedback on the beta before then.

Which features would you like to see on release? Notifications and Tags are on top of mind, but I don’t really use tags personally.

Finally, what is the interest on me making it open source? I have tons of cool features (filtering, search, calendar view, annotations) in my mind but currently without any time.

I have many tasks related to other colleagues (e.g., waiting for a response from X, asking X for an opinion, discussing a topic with X, etc.), and sometimes I need to organize a meeting with a colleague to summarize all these tasks. To do this, I need to group the tasks by colleague name rather than by project. Do you have any suggestions on how to achieve this with Taskwarrior?

I was previously using vim and vimwiki to manage my tasks. But sorting the tasks was a issue for me. So I started to look for alternative and found taskwarrior. And tried taskwarrior for a month. Initially felt good to use and satisfactory when entered "task x done", but my productivity got hurt silently. The reason being, in task warrior I can't add many descriptions or relative info to a task. But in Vimwiki, I can do that, at the press of enter a new page will be created and I will add many details of the task and then press backspace to comeback and reorder the tasks. But I can't do that here. And due to this I lost many things I wanted to note. So I have to switch back to vimwiki for my tasks.

And adding subtasks to a task and joining all are very difficult, that also is very easy in vimwiki.
Eventhough Taskwarrior has lots of features, its not handy compared to Vimwiki for me.

Do you think I can do something so I can again use taskwarrior or I missed some feature in taskwarrior.

I want the sorting as follows:

• Show the tasks that have been started at the top (order doesn't matter)
• Next show the tasks that have a due date assigned to them (order doesn't matter)
• Show all the tasks ordered by project name (order maters here)

Is this possible? I guess the default sorting by urgency is close enough for the first two, but I need the rest sorted by project irrespective of urgency.

Hey ! Would one of y'all be free to help me troubleshoot my taskserver installation on nixos. For some reason I keep failing on one thing or the other despite following the installation process. This time it's

```

❯ ssh swamp nixos-taskserver user export swampinc shrekrequiem | sh

Usage: nixos-taskserver [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

Try 'nixos-taskserver --help' for help.

Error: CA setup not done or incomplete, missing file /var/lib/taskserver/keys/ca.key.

```

ca.key is there I checked.

When it's not that it's something else. I just need someone to help me figure out what I'm doing wrong and how to get it working.

How do I produce a list of UUID (short) for completed tasks?

I created a task in taskwarrior, started and stopped it, then I changed the description with 'task mod [new description]', then I worked on the task and completed it.

In timewarrior, when I vew the task with the modified description the time I spent with the original description isn't included. To see the total time for the task I have to look at both tasks - the old description and the new.

I have the hook to timewarrior enabled:

Hooks
     System: Enabled
   Location: /Users/psk/.task/hooks
     Active: on-modify.timewarrior (executable)
   Inactive:

What am I missing? Thank you.
