callumalpass 2f53847607 fix(#1421): Natural language parser now processes both scheduled and due date triggers 
Previously, entering text like "Task scheduled for tomorrow due next week" in the
New Task dialog would only capture one of the dates. The parser correctly recognized
both triggers but returned early after processing the first match.

The fix removes the early return and continues processing all trigger patterns,
allowing users to set both scheduled and due dates in a single natural language input.

    • Thanks to @MiserMagus for the feature request

  • (#1108) Option to use task duration instead of due date for ICS calendar export

    • New "Use task duration for event length" toggle in Settings → Integrations → Automatic ICS Export
    • When enabled, exported calendar events use scheduled date + time estimate as DTSTART/DTEND
    • This aligns with GTD workflows where scheduled + duration represents work planning, while due date represents deadlines
    • When disabled (default), preserves existing behavior using due date as DTEND
    • Thanks to @bepolymathe for the feature request

Fixed

  • (#1421) Fixed natural language parser only capturing one date when both scheduled and due dates are specified

    • Input like "Task scheduled for tomorrow due next week" now correctly sets both scheduled and due dates
    • Previously the parser would return early after finding the first date trigger, ignoring any subsequent triggers
    • Thanks to @wealthychef1 for reporting

  • (#1384) Fixed title being sanitized even when "Store Task Title in Filename" is disabled

    • Characters like ?, <, >, :, etc. are now preserved in task titles when they won't be used in filenames
    • When storeTitleInFilename is false, only minimal sanitization (whitespace normalization, control character removal) is applied
    • Thanks to @allison-casey for reporting

  • (#1028), (#1140), (#1152), (#1354), (#1362) Fixed duplicate task entries appearing in Agenda view

    • Tasks were shown twice: once as TaskNotes events and again as property-based events with a file icon
    • Changed default Agenda template to disable property-based events (showPropertyBasedEvents: false)
    • Users can re-enable property-based events in view settings if needed for non-task date properties
    • Thanks to @YIRU69, @jhedlund, @dblinnikov, @Snakiest, @WeiYiAcc, @JacksonMcDonaldDev, @jimbo108108, and @krelltunez for reporting

  • (#1386) Fixed timeEstimateCategory formula showing "Long (>2h)" instead of "No estimate" for new tasks

    • The condition didn't properly handle null values when timeEstimate property is unset
    • Also fixed the same issue in trackingStatus formula
    • Thanks to @nicou for reporting and @osxisl for the PR

  • (#1397) Fixed Bases views (Kanban, Calendar, Task List) resetting to Calendar view after a few minutes

    • Also fixed CalendarView corrupting other view files when saving state on unload
    • Thanks to @music-soul1-1 for reporting

  • (#1398) Fixed overdue strikethrough showing on completed tasks

    • Completed tasks with past due dates no longer display overdue styling
    • Respects the "Hide completed from overdue" setting which defaults to true

  • (#1363) Fixed calendar view showing nothing when a task has an invalid date format

    • Tasks with malformed dates (e.g., "262025-12-16" instead of "2025-12-16") no longer crash the entire calendar
    • Invalid tasks are now skipped with a console warning, allowing other events to display normally
    • Thanks to @Erelen for reporting

  • Fixed today column in week/day calendar views using FullCalendar's default yellow instead of theme accent

    • Today's column now uses a tint of the theme accent color for consistent styling

  • (#1399) Fixed drag-and-drop not working in Kanban view on mobile

    • Cards and columns can now be dragged using long-press gesture on touch devices
    • Includes haptic feedback and auto-scroll when dragging near edges
    • Thanks to @l-mb for reporting and the fix

  • (#1381) Fixed Pomodoro "Change Task" menu not showing newly created tasks

    • Tasks created while the Pomodoro view was open would not appear in the task selector
    • Improved metadata cache synchronization to properly wait for new files to be indexed
    • Thanks to @Ghosthael for reporting

  • (#1344) Fixed "Unsaved Changes" popup appearing randomly when closing task edit modal

    • The popup would appear even when no changes were made to the task
    • Caused by inconsistent trailing whitespace normalization when comparing details content
    • Thanks to @hasanyilmaz for reporting

  • (#1402) Fixed Kanban swimlane view showing tasks in wrong column when grouped by formula

    • After editing task metadata, cards would jump to "None" column until Obsidian reload
    • Column assignment now uses Bases' computed grouping instead of cached formula outputs
    • Thanks to @bailob for the fix

  • (#1352) Fixed date context menu not preserving time when using increment options

    • Using +1 day, -1 day, +1 week, or -1 week on a task with a time (e.g., 2025-12-10T16:00) now preserves the time
    • Previously the time would be stripped, changing 2025-12-10T16:00 to 2025-12-11 instead of 2025-12-11T16:00
    • Thanks to @cathywu for the feature request

  • Fixed v3 saved views exporting incorrectly to Bases format

    • Title filters now correctly use file.name instead of note.title
    • Archived filters now generate valid boolean expressions instead of malformed comparisons
    • "Is Blocked" filters now generate correct expressions with proper operator precedence

  • (#1036) Due dates can now be dragged in the calendar view

    • Previously only scheduled dates were draggable; due dates were locked in place
    • 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
    • Previously these actions waited 5 seconds due to the debounce intended for external file changes
    • The 5-second debounce is now bypassed for direct user actions while still preventing flicker during typing

  • Improved visual affordance for Pomodoro timer duration adjustment buttons

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

  • (#1409), (#1214), (#979) Improved Calendar, Agenda, Kanban, and Stats views in pop-out windows

    • Drag-and-drop in Kanban view now works correctly when the view is in a new window
    • Context menus (status, priority, task) now work correctly in pop-out windows
    • Stats view drill-down modal now appears in the correct window
    • Search boxes, task cards, and grouped task lists render correctly
    • Root cause: Code was using global document and standard instanceof checks which fail across windows
    • Solution: Use ownerDocument for DOM operations and Obsidian's cross-window instanceOf() method
    • Known limitation: Calendar event dragging does not work in pop-out windows due to FullCalendar library using global document for mouse event listeners. Use context menus or edit modals as a workaround.
    • Updated FullCalendar to v6.1.20
    • Thanks to @Snakiest, @same774, and @3zra47 for reporting

  • (#1337) Fixed "Convert current note to task" hotkey not applying default values from settings

    • When user configured default status/priority as "None", the modal would show "Open" and "Normal" instead
    • Root cause: Task edit modal was refreshing data from file and overwriting user-configured defaults
    • Now preserves constructor-provided task data when converting non-task files
    • Thanks to @guihasparyk for reporting

  • (#1304) Fixed "Cannot find function map on type Link" error in Blocking view

    • Error occurred when embedding the Relationships base and opening the Blocking view
    • Root cause: When blockedBy contained a single dependency, Bases returned it as a Link object without a .map() method
    • Fixed by wrapping blockedBy with list() before calling .map(), consistent with the Blocked By view
    • Thanks to @prayidae for reporting

  • (#1295) Fixed missing navigation link to Default Base Templates page on tasknotes.dev

    • The page existed but was not accessible from the site navigation
    • Thanks to @Arachnidai for reporting

  • (#1223) Fixed "Go to today's note" command opening wrong date in positive UTC offset timezones

    • In timezones like Japan (UTC+9), early morning use of this command opened yesterday's note
    • Root cause: Incorrectly extracting UTC date components instead of local timezone date
    • Thanks to @BrucePlumb for reporting
