How can I query all the unfinished tasks in this page?

[nicolelaitc]

I always have a large project task page with hundreds of tasks in a single page.

How can I make a query on gathering all the tasks I did not complete in this page? If I can use the query in a template, it would be much better.

Hi @yuiasora1024

Using the path option. Something like this, depending on if your file name is unique:

path does not include some unique note name
path does not include path/to/some NON unique note name

IMPORTANT: If you rename any part of the location that is in the path query, the search will stop working, until you update the path instruction

If I can use the query in a template, it would be much better.

I use this in the Templater plugin, to see all tasks in all files in the current note's folder and sub-folders:

(Edited - I initially pasted in the wrong file)

> [!tasks-in-this-file] Tasks in this folder
> ```tasks
> not done
> path includes <% tp.file.folder(true) %>
> sort by due date
> sort by description
> 
> group by folder
> group by filename
> group by heading
> # hide task count
> 
> short mode
> ```

There's a lot extra going on - but you can take the path includes line and modify it to suit your needs.

Here is a minimal version:

```tasks
not done
path does not include <% tp.file.folder(true) %>
```

There is now a documentation page covering this:

"How to get all tasks in the current file"
https://obsidian-tasks-group.github.io/obsidian-tasks/how-to/get-tasks-in-current-file/

At the time of writing, it still involves dataview, but this page will be updated when/if there is a built-in way to do it in Tasks.

That's great. Your plugin is always a lifesaver!
