Is it possible to add a task with the "dd" command and not have to enter a due date?

Is it possible to add a task with the "dd" command and not have to enter a due date? I know you can use "asap" but I'm looking for a longer term task storage. I would like to collect all of my tasks so that they appear in the due page, and weekly I would choose the most important to schedule for the upcoming week. I have a lot of tasks that are back logged and are waiting to be scheduled.

Thanks!

    Hello Andrew, could you probably process tasks not on non-due page but in some "Unscheduled" list? You can use a filter like due:none to show only tasks without due.
    Best,

    Kirill Maximov Hi Kirill, the filter "due:none" doesn't work for me. When I type "due:" in the filter bar, the only popup autocomplete suggestions are "overdue, asap, now, any, today, tomorrow, current week, next week, current month, next month". There is no "none". And if I forcibly type "none", then it doesn't apply any filtering by dates to my list at all. Please advise. Thanks!

    Hello Michael Durland , the completion was not updated yet to support due:none and due:any. But these commands should be supported for a list. Could you please send me URL of the page where it does not work?

    Thanks,

    Kirill Maximov Sure thing, thanks. Here's an example: https://checkvist.com/checklists/687708/accept?secret=E0MyZEnNYIy4MI
    The item "Another item with a date ^today" still shows up even with the filter set to "due:none". I think it might be because the item is a child. The top-level items with dates are correctly filtered out. Thanks!

    Michael Durland Thanks, I got it. Unfortunately, looks like this is a bug and it is rather non-trivial to fix :(
    We'll try to provide a fix later in this month, together with the next feature update.

    Sorry, it takes longer than I hoped, but it is definitely to be fixed in the next server update.

    Hello,

    Could you please check how it works on https://beta.checkvist.com - I hope I've fixed due:none there.

    Thanks,

    Kirill Maximov Now due:none does filter out sub-items with due dates. However, if there is a parent with no due date that has exactly one child that has a due date, then date:none also filters out the parent. I think it should still show the parent because the parent has no due date.

    Michael Durland In Checkvist the filtering works in a way that if we show a parent node, we also show its sub-nodes (you can see that if you filter just by text).
    But, in this case, we'll also show sub-items with the specified Due - and it looks like a bug.

    In which situation you think the behaviour you describe would be useful?

    Thanks,

    Kirill Maximov Sometimes it would be nice to see everything without a date. That is to either make sure everything has a date, or to look at those that don't matter when I do them (no hard due date). Filtering out any item that does not have a date would miss this search. This would mean the desire to show all dateless tasks, regardless of how many date or dateless children they have. I guess it depends on whether the logic is somewhat top-down or bottom up. I can see it can also get messy when there is an item with a date with both date and dateless children. Then should the parent with the date be shown in order to show the dateless children? I don't have a good answer. Whatever you think is best. Thanks.

I'm really enjoy using checkvist, you are adding great features very quickly.

I'm really enjoy using checkvist, you are adding great features very quickly.  What I feel is missing is more use cases.  How are people using Checkvist?  What are some recommend workflows?  How many lists do you have? User Stories will not only help those of use already using Checkvist to be more effective, but attract more non-technical customers. I like to keep my lists at a minimum.  I only split out for sharing but I'd prefer not to. Here are my lists: * Inbox:  This is where zapier based integrations go.  I have Jira tickets and emails tagged with "!action" going to list which I process daily. * The List:  This is my primary list.  Everything is here.  I use sub-nodes for different areas. * Honey Do:  This is the list my wife and I share to make sure we know what we both want done around the house. * "Client Project" - I have a few Lists I share with clients (Free lance web developer). I"m looking to write a more detailed blog post. How are your l...

Hello friends

Hello friends, We are considering to change behaviour of move up/down command using ctrl+arrows for lists with hierarchy. The new approach is available on our beta site, https://beta.checkvist.com . Could you please try it out and tell us what you think? Thanks! https://beta.checkvist.com

Hello friends!

Hello friends! I'd like to ask for your opinion regarding multi-line text editing. This suggestion comes from one of our Russian-speaking customers Dolina Zamkova so here is a translated abstract of our email conversation. Current problem: When you write multi-line text, you must press 'Shift-Enter' first, then use 'Enter' to start a new line, then 'Ctrl-Enter' to submit the text. Wouldn't it be easier to have a setting that will allow using Enter to always write multi-line texts, and always submit on 'Ctrl-Enter', like you do it in text messengers? So we could add a new account-wide setting, on the Settings page: () Finish editing by pressing 'Ctrl-Enter' (convenient for multi-line text) What do you think? Do you write multi-line texts in Checkvist at all? Other thoughts of how we could make it better? :)
