Support iso date in due: filter

Support iso date in due: filter

Hi Kirill Maximov,

I cannot recall whether I've requested this previously (almost certainly someone has) ... but would it be possible to add support for iso dates in the due: filter?

e.g. "due: 2017-10-29"

    Hi Mark Dickens, this is possible to add, but a bit later :) Please vote/comment for checkvist.uservoice.com - Filtering by specific Due Dates

    Thanks!

    Kirill Maximov thanks for the reply.

    Is there any chance that this feature might come soon?

    For me, the main showstoppers from being able to do all of my project planning in Checkvist are all around better filtering.

    Due date (as above), custom date range, without specific tag(s) would solve a lot of my problems.

    Any thoughts?

    Hi Mark Dickens, adding a filter by a specific due date is not very difficult, and we could squeeze it into the next desktop update, but date ranges is a more expensive feature.

    Could you please tell why and how such filter would help you, what is the scenario?

    Thanks,

    Yes please to single date filter Kirill Maximov !

    The date range filter would help me to distribute work across arbitrary date ranges a little further into the future. I could plan a few weeks in advance having tiled Checkvist tabs open filtering for this week, next week, in 2 weeks ... whatever ... then using Checkvist’s awesome date keyboard shortcuts I can move tasks between them (and ok, hit F5 a lot)

    Until then the individual day filter will help me plan any day for this week beyond tomorrow likewise using tiled Checkvist tabs.

    I guess I’m angling for a calendar view in the long term (I know there’s the calendar feed but a drag and drop calendar view would be a great Christmas present 😉 )

    PS “color: none” filter would be very useful too. “date: none” is very useful now

    I think you want what I want.. The "due: this/next week" is a bit useless, we want "due: X days" which would show the next X days from today, now that'd be useful :)

    Hello Xavier B, I think this is a bit different than what is asked by Mark Dickens, if I'm not mistaken.

    As for due:date and color:none - I've added it to the quickfixes list. The problem is, so far we cannot get enough time to take items from this list. But we'll try :)

    Kirill Maximov you are correct, that is different. I want to be look at fixed time periods in the future so that I can spread my work.

    Date range would be great but a single date will be a great help.

    "So much to do and so little time" afflicts us all :)

Any Toggl users here?

Any Toggl users here? I'm putting together an integration so the toggl (Chrome extension) button ( https://github.com/toggl/toggl-button ) is displayed for tasks on a Checkvist list. It's dead simple (a few lines of javascript), but I'm slightly torn on the best way to handle one aspect: whether or not toggl is shown for a particular list. It can't be always-on, as it adds too much clutter for non-projecty lists (who wants a timer button for the carrots on their grocery list?). What I have now is that if any task on a list is tagged #toggl, then all tasks on that list will have the toggl button. A few alternatives I canvassed were: - display toggl buttons only on subtasks of a task tagged with #toggl - display toggl buttons only on focused (hoisted) tasks - find some other way to indicate that all of a list's tasks should have the button, eg. something encoded in the list's name I think what I have now is the most convenient of these (I don't want to hav...
