TaskNotes 4.3.0

Changed

• (#1437) Unified template variable syntax and available variables across filename and body templates
  • Both systems now use double-brace {{variable}} syntax consistently
  • Single-brace {variable} syntax remains supported for backwards compatibility but is deprecated
  • Settings UI shows a warning when deprecated single-brace syntax is detected
  • Filename templates gain body template variables: {{contexts}}, {{tags}}, {{hashtags}}, {{timeEstimate}}, {{details}}, {{parentNote}}
  • Body templates gain filename template variables: {{zettel}}, {{nano}}, and all extended date/time variables
  • Thanks to @23maverick23 and @Jpeeters for reporting (#865)

Added

• (#1361) Option to disable inline task overlay for aliased wikilinks

  • New setting in Features → Inline Tasks: "Disable overlay for aliased links"
  • When enabled, links with aliases like [[Task|Check Status]] render as plain links
  • Links without aliases continue to show the interactive task widget
  • Useful when embedding tasks in prose where the widget would be disruptive
  • Thanks to @diegomarzaa for the contribution and @jldiaz for proposing this feature in #1117

• (#1199, #1205) Google Calendar export for tasks

  • Sync tasks to Google Calendar based on scheduled or due dates
  • Automatic sync on task create, update, complete, and delete
  • Configurable event title templates with placeholders ({{title}}, {{status}}, {{priority}}, etc.)
  • Event descriptions include task metadata and optional Obsidian deep link
  • Support for all-day or timed events with customizable duration
  • Event color customization using Google Calendar's color palette
  • Default reminder setting for popup notifications
  • Bulk sync and unlink actions in settings
  • Task-event linking stored in frontmatter (googleCalendarEventId)
  • Recurring tasks sync as Google Calendar recurring events
  • Completed or skipped recurring instances are automatically excluded
  • Thanks to @someromans and @Leonard-44 for requesting this feature, and @dmantisk, @farangkao, @rayvermey, and @rdpr for their input

Fixed

• (#1413) Fixed angle-bracket links and project title display

  • Angle-bracket links like [Spec](<Projects/Client X/Spec.md>) now resolve correctly
  • Project links display frontmatter title instead of raw filename/path when available
  • Dependency values normalize consistently across wikilinks, markdown links, and angle-bracket variants
  • Many thanks to @normenmueller for the contribution

• (#1414) Kanban column headers now display configured priority labels instead of raw values

  • Many thanks to @normenmueller for the contribution

• (#1416) Fixed property-based task identification mutating tags unexpectedly

  • Tags are only written when explicitly changed by the user
  • Task tag is only added in tag-based identification mode
  • Fixes #1391
  • Thanks to @loukandr for reporting and @normenmueller for the fix

• (#1187) Fixed "Unknown view types" error when opening Bases views after upgrading from pre-V4

  • Users who had disabled Bases support in earlier versions could not open Bases views after upgrading
  • Settings migration now automatically re-enables Bases support since the toggle was removed in V4
  • Thanks to @MiracleXYZ for reporting

• (#1144) Fixed relationships.base showing empty views for Projects, Blocked By, and Blocking tabs

  • The top-level task filter was excluding non-task files from the Projects view
  • Projects can be any file type (not just tasks), so the filter is now applied per-view
  • Subtasks, Blocked By, and Blocking views retain the task filter; Projects view does not
  • Users with existing relationships.base files should delete and regenerate them to get the fix
  • Thanks to @needo37 for reporting, and @n1njaznutz, @nestor50, and @IvyDliu for investigating and confirming the solution

• Fixed calendar view type not persisting or applying when changed

  • View type changes via header buttons (week/day/month) are now saved to the .base file
  • View type changes via Bases settings panel now apply immediately without reload

• (#1441) Fixed task dragging broken with "Span tasks between scheduled and due dates" enabled

  • Span events can now be dragged to move tasks in time
  • Dragging shifts both scheduled and due dates proportionally, preserving the span duration
  • Previously, dragging span events would cause a visual/data mismatch where the calendar showed the wrong position
  • Thanks to @Peeeet for reporting
