Today's scheduled tasks on Daily Note

[rfenyves]

I'm using the Tasks plugin in Obsidian along with the Periodic Notes and Calendar plugins, and I'm trying to filter tasks based on the scheduled date using the {{date:YYYY-MM-DD}} placeholder provided by Periodic Notes.

Here’s the query I’m using:

```tasks
not done
scheduled on {{date:YYYY-MM-DD}}
```

However, I’m getting the following error:

Tasks query: There was an error expanding one or more placeholders.

Tasks query: There was an error expanding one or more placeholders.

The error message was:
    Unknown property: date:YYYY-MM-DD

The problem is in:
    scheduled on {{date:YYYY-MM-DD}}

What I’ve Tried:

I verified that the Periodic Notes and Calendar plugins support {{date:YYYY-MM-DD}} placeholders in templates and file creation, but I'm not sure if they extend that support to Tasks plugin queries.
I have tried using relative dates (e.g., today, tomorrow), which work fine, but I want to use the placeholder to dynamically reference the date in a more flexible way.

Question:

Is the {{date:YYYY-MM-DD}} placeholder not supported in Tasks plugin queries?
If so, is there a workaround or another way to dynamically query tasks based on the current date using Periodic Notes or Calendar placeholders?
Any help or insight would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your help!

Yes, it is not supported!

There are two possible situations:

1. You are viewing your template file in Live Preview or Reading mode, so Obsidian is telling the Tasks plugin to run the search.
   • And {{date:YYYY-MM-DD}} is not a valid Tasks query construct
   • In which case you can just ignore the error.
2. You are viewing an actual daily note file, and something has caused your template text not to have been expanded.
