Make dates recognizable by kanban boards

[Rhydderch]

Expected Behavior

Tasks with a date should be correctly parsed by the kanban board plugin.
Expected result for a task with a due date:

Current Behavior

As the format for the dates is different for kanban boards, this is how the date is shown:

The format required for the kanban boards is {date} (e.g., {2022-02-23}) whereas the tasks plugins just uses a date (e.g., 2022-02-23)

Steps to Reproduce

• Install kanban board
• set the character that precedes dates to "📅" in the kanban settings (so that it is the same as the tasks plugin)
• create a card in a kanban board
• use the command to create a task with the tasks plugin
• set a due date

Context (Environment)

• Obsidian version: 0.13.26
• Tasks version: 1.4.1
• I have tried it with all other plugins disabled and the error still occurs

Possible Solution

An easy quick fix would be to add a setting in the Tasks plugin settings to allow the due date to be surrounded by { }.

This seems to be relevant for this issue #384

Thanks for the idea, @Rhydderch. There was discussion on the obsidian forums regarding this topic here: https://forum.obsidian.md/t/task-management-devs-define-a-shared-date-and-action-format/26464

Tasks will eventually support other "signifiers", but it's a matter of free time from my side which is scarce.

Thanks for linking the topic. The whole thread is super interesting.
Great that Tasks will eventually support other signifiers. And I completely understand that free time is scarce:)
Best of luck with your projects and I will keep an eye out for any updates you make.

(I don't know if I have the skills necessary but maybe I could try making a PR in a few weeks if you did not have the time yet by then)

If you want to contribute, that would be of great help. It goes smoother if you don’t blindly start coding, but rather discuss a bit how it should be achieved, first. Unfortunately, this very tasks is relatively complex. If you are looking to contribute, you could also start with something simpler. You could check out the issues with the good first issue tag and start a discussion there 😄
