obsidian-tasks-group/obsidian-tasks 8.4.0 on GitHub

What's Changed

Please run the Reload app without saving command or quit and restart Obsidian after updating the plugin. Thank you.

Add Quick search command, to find an incomplete task recognised by Tasks anywhere in your vault.
Add columns view, supporting drag-and-drop edit for a growing number of properties.
Add show group count instruction. For now, this only shows numbers of tasks in the lowest-level groups.
Add CSS example for colouring actionable tasks by their priority.
The default preset hide_query_elements now hides the task count. (Pre-existing Tasks settings are not updated, though.)
Translations of Settings, Editing a Status and Check your Statuses:
- Add Spanish translation.
- Add French translation.
Documentation:
- Add How to support an existing request to the help on user support.
- Add Support sections to many documentation pages, to help find and up-vote related bugs and feature requests before reporting new ones. Example: Statuses
