Thanks @itsmyfirstname i had the same problem, that fixed it perfectly.

The only issue I have with this now is when Obsidian creates the daily note, these template fields all show up as the literal string “NaN”. But if I create a note and add the template, it works as expected.

Not sure if this is an obsidian Mobile thing or what. I’ll have to try with a desktop client.

I was able to fix this by

• Making a folder for templates
• setting templates path in templater
• Setting daily temple to nothing
• Making new daily temple with ctr + p + open daily note
• alt + e select the template

I did however have to add this dataview to make sure it did not pick up tasks i added into the template (using dataview.js)

dv.taskList(dv.pages() .file.where(f => f.name != "Daily Note") .tasks.where(t => !t.completed)) 

Thanks for sharing this.

In case it helps anyone, I wrote a CSS snippet to slight reduce the frontmatter visible priority. There isn't a selector to target the whole frontmatter (no containing div) but its better than nothing:

.cm-s-obsidian span.cm-def{
    font-size:25%;
}
.cm-s-obsidian .cm-hmd-frontmatter {
    font-size:75%;
}
.cm-s-obsidian span.cm-meta {
  color: var(--text-faint);
  opacity:0.5
}

Hi, good morning, at first thanks so much for sharing your template. I use it since a lot of time. In the last weeks I've not worked a lot with Obsidian. Today I would start use it again and the following Tasks collections doesn't work anymore:

• Over due
• Due today
• Done today

I'm not sure what changed or what I've to do, to fix it.

Can you help me or give me a hint what I have to do to be able to use the task collections again?

Sorry - this is something I am no longer using or keeping up to date.
